My female boss was the self-appointed office manager. Self-appointed because she was a company director. She’d got there because she’d once been married to the guy who started the business, and when they divorced he couldn’t get rid of her because he’d made her a director of the company while they were married, (yes, he was REALLY stupid). She was so incompetent at managing the company finances that she failed to pay compulsory taxes and staff superannuation over a number of years, (shoved the tax documents into a filing cabinet draw and thought they’d go away), thus causing the company severe financial problems when the taxman finally arrived to see what was going on. ONLY THEN would she sell her share in their company to her ex-husband, who had been trying to get rid of her for years. ONLY THEN did he realise that she’d made a giant mess of the cashflow, because he hadn’t made her report to him even once during their marriage or since their divorce.
