I sorry about not having a bitch post 2 weeks in a row, but, somehow, I guess people complain LESS in the summer? So, unless I get realistic submissions from you all, it’s just not going to happen. Instead, a list of how to PISS PEOPLE OFF. I.e. a reverse Bitch Post.

- Take your vacations at peak holiday seasons and don’t let your subordinates take off at the same time.
- Call in sick during your company’s peak season. Go to the beach/skiing, etc, instead.
