The Boss with a Bad Attitude

Mitch transfers to a new location with her employer. Her new supervisor, Raul, is friendly and helps her get familiar with her new job duties. After a few days, when no one else is around, Raul comes over to Mitch's work area to chat. Raul talks about what he did last night, which was to go to a strip club. Mitch is shocked that Raul would bring up such a topic in the workplace and says nothing in response. Raul continues talking and says that all the women in the office are so unattractive that he needs to get out and "see some hot chicks" once in a while. He tells Mitch he is glad she joined the staff because, unlike the others, she is "easy on the eyes." Mitch feels very offended and demeaned that she and the other women in her workplace are being evaluated on their looks by their supervisor.
