So /g/, I think I got stuck with one of the worst managers in NA. How were your first days at work?
He's planning on replacing you with sanjeet and pocketing the difference in pay.
Better start looking for another job.
warning signs:
>if the manager is not stereotypically overenthusiastic
>if you get a pile of broken garbage instead of the tools needed to do your job
you're autistic, what kind of treatment did you expect?
it really shows, you know.
Can we have some interesting fact about manager some "warning signs" or how to manage your manager ?

Give the cranky guy a chance, he is probably just doing his best to maintain a professional distance, but is a bit on the spectrum.
Here comes my 2nd day. Hopefully he'll warm up to me more.
