A reader from Alabama writes:

I am from England and worked for a Solicitor (Attorney) in a large law firm. I was able to turn out a far amount of work, they had to replace me with two people when I left however I used to work for one of the junior partners.

He was a bit of a nerd who thought I should be tied to my desk and if I wasn’t he would go in search of me even to the point of hanging outside the ladies restroom and knocking on the door calling my name. Of course I didn’t respond to him and all the other woman would tell him I wasn’t in there when I was but this type of behavior was unacceptable in my opinion given my performance.

What do you think? Is this boss crazy?
