Some Boss Hating Links

[mrspunkysmom]

I am a boss. And I have a boss. Who has a boss.

I have had good bosses and great bosses and crappy bosses.

I have had great employees, good employees and crappy employees.

Do you know how difficult it can be to get rid of crappy employees? Without being sued? Or shot?

But I cannot imagine Employee Hating Links...

Well, I've met some bosses that would probably love some employee hating links,

I'm just venting, ES. I've held my tongue for more than 3 years. I've trod the high road and put up with far too much.

And I thank you for your little prose. I like it.

I've never had employees except for household help, but I have had lots of students. And bosses. And I usually get along well with my bosses.

I have students. I've been a student. I've had great students, good students, lazy students, mean students. I try to like all of my students and usually do. Occasionally there is one you would rather not meet again, but that is usually due to the parents somewhere in there. Some of my teachers have liked me and I'm sure some did not. Particularly when I expected them to do their job and know their material.

In SC it is NOT difficult at all to get rid of crappy employees or good employees. And you can't sue your employer unless it is physical damage. As for being shot, that is a sad state of our society. I think a lot of it happens because we don't listen to one another and with compassion but instead deride one another. That doesn't excuse it. And I'll never understand it.

I belong to a profession that is supposed to help people and yet those in charge do just the opposite.

Unless South Carolina has seceded from the United States again - of course you can sue your employer. All the federal laws apply plus South Carolina has its own anti-discrmination laws. I am not advocating you initiate a lawsuit!

I am only suggesting that "bosses" are also employees and people. Why is it okay to deride bosses? I just don't buy in to "all bosses are bad" "all employees are lazy" or any "all" stuff.

I agree, it is not okay to imply all bosses are bad! Just as not all employes are good! I have had all kinds of bosses, none of them truly evil, or anything. Some odd, or not good at dealing with human beings, but no evil ones!

I don't hate my boss.

Hatred implies respect, and I have none for the alcoholic, insecure, bipolar idiot.

I could take my supervisors in the postal service and write a book on how not to run a company using them as examples.

I have worked for good supervisors. It's just been a long, long time.

You know I never looked at it that way, LH. Thanks. I certainly have no respect for him. In fact, he has labored to insure that I do not respect him.

I, too, have worked for great bosses and mediocre bosses and some bad bosses. I've never worked for one I didn't trust and felt that whatever I did would not be acceptable. I have never met anyone that worked so hard to put someone down to the point that that lies were told in order to make me look bad.

Please, remember that I am working through some stuff here and hoped that the Dog house would be a safe forum to vent without being ridiculed.

Apparently this is not the forum to air one's grievances without recrimination, so with that I withdraw from the conversation.

I don't think anyone was ridiculing you, just disagreeing, or pointing out differences! You don't need to withdraw from the discussion!
