I'm Pooh Bear's co-worker. Let me share my stories on our "beloved leader":

1. Has asked Pooh Bear if I was going through menopause and if I had a boyfriend, if I went out on dates, what's wrong with me because I'm going to the doctor. Very intrusive.

2. Was surprised when we told him that an occasional "please" and "thank you" is appreciated by staff. He said he's not used to using those words, although I do get an insincere & half-hearted "thanks" when I say good night at the end of the day.

3.He took great offense several years ago when we told him that we did not want to be in the office when a board member with diagnosed TB was going to take a Trans-Pacific flight to come to the office and later go to an American doctor to see if he truly had TB. He angrily said that if we didn't want to be in the office when the board member came in, we could go home. No regard for our health and well-being.

5. Scratches his private parts all the time in front of us female employees (lewd & lascivious conduct)

6. Makes slurping/chomping/chewing noises while he eats -- sounds like feeding time at zoo. No class.

7. Doesn't wash his hands after using bathroom. Was observed on 2 different occasions by Pooh Bear's son and boyfriend who were in bathroom at same time. Pig!!

8. Makes moans/groans/sighs while sitting in his office -- makes us wonder if he's watching porn on Internet!

9. Has yelled so loudly at Pooh Bear on several occasions that people in office next door have overheard and have even come over to make sure all is well.

10. We suspect dementia or Alzheimer's because his communication skills & comprehension levels have really deteriorated, yet he denied that anything is wrong when we asked him about his impatience, anger, bad memory, many errors.

We have even asked if his wife if there are any medical problems that we should be aware about because of his change in character, etc. -- she said all is well. She's in denial. Any suggestions on how we can find out if something is wrong?
