I have a micro-manager for a supervisor. I took PTO this past Wednesday and left a message for him, wherein I said, "I'll see you tomorrow." A few hours later, he calls to find out if I'm going to be in the next day. Asshat, I told you so in my message! I know you're just giving me the passive-aggressive "I know you're taking time off and I'm watching you" thing! He's such a local Utah boy, with no clue how to use authority like a grown-up and utterly unable to cope with an older female who doesn't subscribe to the patriarchal world view.
He actually asked me why I have to take a bathroom break in the middle of the morning every day (OK, I'll take a long bathroom break, because that's the only break I get in the morning), and why can't I go before I start work. The first few times I told him that I had to go--which I did. The last time I gave him a five-minute lecture on the middle-aged female bladder and offering to go with him to the head of our HR department, who is a woman a little older than I am, to find out if my middle-aged female bladder was an anomoly. I tacked on a brief mention of the menstrual cycle and how all gastric bets are off at that time, and if he wants to explain why I need a new chair and am going home to change clothes, he's more than welcome to insist that I don't take a bathroom break when I need it.
None of which advanced the cause of women in the workplace, but god, the colors his face turned.
