I'm in his 'bad books'
The man is nearly 50, and holds pathetic grudges. While all this is going on, I simply have to keep my head down, and obey his every ruling.

There simply aren't any other jobs out there at the minute.

I'm over 50 and hold pathetic grudges too.
You don't suddenly become mature when you pass a certain age you know.

I'm off to play on the swings in a minute, anybody want to come?

Its really a tyre on a rope, over a ditch.
But it is fun provided you don't fall in.

That sounds like a recipe for disaster

I fail to see why that's relevant.
He's quite clearly in the wrong. If it was something debatable I could understand you wanting to keep your loaf down, but it's not. There's no way he can be seen to be in the right in any way whatsoever.

Shame, but true.

Not everyone who runs their own business uses it as their private fiefdom and treats people badly though.

I know and it is appalling that some people think they can go around behaving like that.
As a small business owner I just wanted to make the point that we're not all like that. I try hard to treat my staff well - without them I wouldn't have a business.

However you can also have employees that take the piss (I am not inferring that AA does this)

In ways I do, and when I am brought up on those, I accept, and change
But the ways I've highlighted above do not come under this heading.

I'm very quick with Ctrl+Tab, Alt+Tab
I always have something work related open in other tabs, I've never been caught on here (except for when I was pulled into a meeting)

He prefers the term "Lord of the Underworld"

No, no, no.
You're not IMPLYING that AA does this.

True
But sadly it's his company, these are his rules, like them or lump them.

When I can find another job, I intend on making clear how much I dislike his rules. Suggestions?

stab him in the side of the knee with a biro
before knocking up some nunchuka using empty toner and flex cable and batter him.

Sounds better than my suggestion, I was simply going to curl one out on his desk
