A little backstory on him: he’s from South Asia who’s been in Singapore for about 15 years and has never had a permanent position until this one.

-He completely freaked out on another female that worked there, claiming that she moved his equipment, but it was found out later that she had not moved it. He proceeded to tell her she was stupid, he didn’t know why she had been hired, that she didn’t know anything, that she needed to shut up and listen to him, and a bunch of other condescending things. She filed a complaint against him. This was my third week on the job.

-Asked me to stay late almost every day. Would get mad when I had something to do and actually left on time. Later would try to not pay me for the overtime he made me work.

-Only got along with 1 other person in a 50 person unit.

-Constantly would get locked out of his computer, lose his pass, “break” his computer. Told IT lady that someone was breaking in and sabotaging him.

-Everything is my fault. It started to rain he said the mood is dull and boring and said its my fault

-Gets mad at me for relaying a message to him, tells me that whoever gave me a Master’s degree should not have, that I’m too dumb to work for him, I should have never been hired, he has enough money to fire me and everyone else and hire all new people, and that I won’t be doing his research anymore (my job description, basically).

-Tells me that in his country a woman would be stoned for speaking out against a man (this was when I began looking for other employment).

-I get a summer helper, my boss tells him that females should not be in the workplace.

-When I handed him my resignation, he asked me if I was serious. I gave him 20 days notice because I needed to use my overtime before I left or I would not be paid for it, he tried to tell me I could not do that (fun fact: I did).

-Freaks out on me after he realizes I’m leaving. Tells me I won’t be hired by anybody else. Imagine my smug look when I told him I already had another job lined up.

-Brings in someone for me to train as my replacement, I train them and on my last day, he tells them it’s not working out. Not sure why, but I have a sneaking suspicion that he was told he wasn’t allowed to hire anybody else as I was his 2nd technician in the last 6 months.

-On my last day he tried to act like he didn’t know it was my last day, and asked me to come in the next day.

-Called me every day for 4 days after my “official” last day. Never left a message, so I never responded.
