My old manager made me count 47 paper clips in a drawer and I finally quit that week

I worked at a small insurance office in Toledo for two years. My manager once made me count 47 paper clips in a supply drawer because she thought someone was stealing them. That was a Tuesday, and by Friday I had my last check and walked out. I found out later that 6 other people quit that same month, and she blamed all of us for being lazy. If your boss tracks office supplies like they are gold bars, how long did you last before you bailed?
