I would have called him a fucking bitch to his face.

Then, if he complained and upper management got involved, I would just say "Fire Me, Asswipe(s). Go ahead. In fact, I'll do it for you. I quit. Bye!"

Then when they scramble to find someone that does EVERYTHING I DO in a small amount of time (I do nearly 8 things EVERY DAY in just 4 hours), I'll laugh my ass off in their faces. They won't like it, but I won't care.

I've already had lots of other job offers (about 6 now) that I've turned down, but can still "ring them up" if needed.

This is why I don't work with customers directly. So many of them are idiots. It is all I can do to "bite my tongue" at how stupid they are.
