Submit ReviewMike opens the show by asking Torya what is the worst job she ever had. She answers that she had a job at a trucking service and she had a boss who always ended the email with “please advise” and it was so annoying. The boss would always throw her under the bus if anything goes wrong despite the fact that it was her fault and just devise all these dumbass rules. Mike points out that this is the boss who requires that all emails go through her. She was in full control of both sides of the discussion.
