SirMichael1:
If you tell pocohantas that most female bosses deserve a brain scan or a mental capacity evaluation, you'll have another derange female to curtail.

If only you weren't a weaker sex. Past derangement.
pocohantas:


Male bosses have done worse. One even impregnated his married subordinate. Start the brain scan from your gender. There is a reason you guys occupy majority of prisons around the world. E pass derangement... cheesy

Fool. I call my mama an illiterate, you vex pass us. Must you speak to my family anyways?
SirMichael1:
Good thing we both agree that the boss did that out of her personal detaste for men.

If that lady has a superior she isn't sleeping with, she will get sacked because of this!

Even if my mum is uneducated, i can't use the word illiterate for her. The man should learn how to choose his word wisely. It is embarrasing. He should have said, his mum doesn't understand English.

The boss overreacted. Illiteracy is a word used to describe an uneducated person, and not an insulting word. How else should he have explained to her that his mum isn't fluent with English language?

I'm not surprised though cos that's how it is with female bosses, they're always so paranoid.

Not at all. He messed up badly and if he could treat his mother in such a disgusting way, then he is not a worthy staff.

Why will you call your parent an illiterate because they can't speak English? The boss knows better and will never speak English to an elderly person until she responded in English. She just want to great his mom and nothing more. She is not interviewing the mom. Just a casual greeting.

It is so sad the youth of today are too vulgar with words. An example is one fool coming to line to say his dad has a bat in his wardrobe. So sad we are losing it fast. If I am the employer, I will do just that and pay him off even if he hasn't done much.

How will you now awesome thing positive about your company if you see your parent as thrash. These are type of staffs that talk ills about an organization if there is a little set back. Don't be surprised someone like him won't hesitate to call his boss a fool for delaying his salary for a day.

Good one by the boss. let him go back and learn.

To even make matter worst,instead of apologizing and taking the old woman to plead on his behalf, he told his friend who also is mannerless like him to help him broadcast it. I keep saying, I doubt if this country will still be in the next 10years. Too many uncultured children

It’s absurd calling your mom illiterate. At least he could have said “my mom is not fluent in English language”

Must he say it? Why ridiculing a whole mother? What happened to; "Maami, egba. Oga mi fe ba yin soro".

That would have sent a signal to the boss and she will love him the more. That boy desevers to be sack
