Somewhat related... I work at a garden center and my manager is a professor of horticulture. When I transferred to her department, I thought I would be learning so much, but this woman has no passion for teaching and is cynical about everything. She sucks the life and fun out of work. Luckily I enjoy working with my other coworkers, and everybody likes me better than they do her.
This really sucks, but I'm glad the other people there weren't dragged down by the manager and remained positive people to interact with.
Bit of an update... 3 out of 4 of us employed under her are planning to quit after the new year. We're just finishing the holiday season because it's a busy time and don't want to bail when it's all hands on deck right now.
The 4th person is only part-time and we haven't told him yet about our plans, so he may join us once he finds out.
All of us are quitting because of the manager.
I'm glad you're no longer putting up with her. Best of luck.
