- Your post must be a screen capture of a microblog-type post that includes the UI of the site it came from, preferably also including the avatar and username of the original poster. Including relevant comments made to the original post is encouraged.
- Your post, included comments, or your title/comment should include some kind of commentary or remark on the subject of the screen capture. Your title must include at least one word relevant to your post.
- You are encouraged to provide a link back to the source of your screen capture in the body of your post.
- Current politics and news are allowed, but discouraged. There MUST be some kind of human commentary/reaction included (either by the original poster or you). Just news articles or headlines will be deleted.
- Doctored posts/images and AI are allowed, but discouraged. You MUST indicate this in your post (even if you didn't originally know). If an image is found to be fabricated or edited in any way and it is not properly labeled, it will be deleted.

I don't work in IT and the rest of the story doesn't carry over, but I just left a boss behind who behaved exactly like that. Some sort of insecurity, probably about being in a leadership position in the first place.
I think it's dumb; if you've been thrown into the hierarchy sideways and want to become a good leader you need to listen to people even if it means eating some humble pie.
Yep, that's me, too.
I think this is correct answer. Maybe afraid of losing her job, definitely insecure.
Also I think the answer is to push back. Call out the anger and refuse to deal with it until she calms down.
Sometimes you have to give people some room to grow. This might be a way to get her to confront it, but you will forever be the bad guy even after she has learned the lesson.
I have learned this the hard way many times. My sense of justice and being 'right' are pretty high.
