Bosses Behaving Badly

Did you think that the days of bosses screaming at their assistants was a thing of the past?

If you did, you've got "another think" coming.

Bosses are still behaving badly at work.  And this is not gender-specific.  We're talking both men and women losing it over what is never a matter of life and death.  How could it be?  We're not doing brain surgery.  We're litigating.  Somehow not the same.

I do appreciate the fact that after they "block their stack," they almost always feel embarrassed.  Because isn't yelling kind of the equivalent of being out of control.  They never want to be out of control.  They just want to control you.

And before you say, "If someone yelled at me, I'd do blah, blah, blah," take a look at your bank account, your mortgage, kids' tuition, electric bill - go outside, take a walk, get a latte and remember don't sweat the small stuff.

And it's all small stuff.

And if my boss loses her cool and I keep mine - who's really winning?

So while smoking is no longer allowed in the workplace, there's still plenty of smoke coming out of the tops of their heads.
