Did we work at the same organization?

My previous boss did exactly that plus a bunch more psychopathic stuff like:

- Praise someone in public before they leave, then block them from coming back - Promote the incompetent to further solidify their power position - Lie to customer, stakeholders, etc. Everything must present a good "image". The work or actual results were barely relevant - Have scapegoat at every level in case of failure. - Refuse to join status update meetings so that he could claim not to be involved with things that weren't going well and sacrifice a scapegoat
