Some bosses really are complete jerks.

DH returned to work once after a 3 week holiday, to find that the DAY after he went on leave, they put his "your sacked" papers in his pigeon hole - at work. Where they had to give him three weeks notice.

So he got back from leave, to learn that he had no job.

Whereas if they'd been adults about it, he could have used his 3 weeks of leave to look for a frecking job.

Maybe they wanted to be nice and let him enjoy his holiday - or maybe they're asshats.

Sounds like your boss is one too.
