Yesterday I came to the realization that I'm done. After I suggested he reach out to so-and-so for some simple guidance or advice, he went off on a misogynistic tirade about how she only got the job cause she's a woman and "checks a box," and alluded to the fact that her 25-year career is irrelevant cause she doesn't have a P.Eng designation. It took me a few seconds to pick my jaw up off the floor.

Dude's gonna be in his 50s in no time, unemployable, chasing a handful of goddamn letters.
I can think of a handful of guys who that sounds like.
