*Strug hugs*
Hoping your dreaded meeting went better than expected and that you had a good weekend. Hugs!
Re: *Strug hugs*
Yes!
I was thinking about you too! I hope everything worked out!
We make the rockin' world go 'round.
I was thinking about you, too, my dear "daughter" - and MrsPhilDunphy (damn - I had to think for a minute about your new name!), how was yours?
"What is a week-end?"
I'll fill you in tonight. It's not the ideal position it was made out to be, but still okay.
Strug - I hope this week goes well for you!
i'm here. it was bad and i am actively looking for work. i am still employed and made very clear i am never, never to be spoken to a certain way again. to which the response was "sometimes i have to yell to get my point across."
um...no you don't. you can speak to me like an adult. more details later.
i just came on and saw this. i am so so sorry. i have two bosses currently. and one is a TOTAL jack a$& and he yells a lot. he's just mean in general. i've found that if i yell back it gained his respect. not yelling back persay but not backing down to him. he's an alpha male and HAS to show he's top dog but he likes when people go toe to toe with him.
luckily i have my other boss to offset him. i am REALLY sorry your going through this but i can say that i know how you feel. i wish i could offer you some sort of solid advice. but i can't. but i can say i can empathize.
go home and have a LARGE drink. and a LARGE one for me too since i can't for a few more months.
Good Lord! This sounds like something from a training video on how NOT to manage people. Onwards and upwards, my friend.
i had to use the phrase "can you please listen to what you just said" several times. obviously there are alot of detais left off here but it is just ridiculous. i hate going home at night feeling like a failure.
DITTO!
the lack of professionalism allowed never ceases to amaze me. and clearly, he's been permitted to behave like an @sshat for too long already. he's the one failing in this situation.
this is spot-on. i already talked to HR once and will be following up.
good luck!
this. and if I knew how to double quote, I'd echo DCtoLow's comment, too.
and if you want me to, I can make an inquiry on your behalf at my ex's place of employment....
Boss's failure to be a human being is NOT Strug failure. If he has a problem with the way you do your job -- is this new? - that's a different issue -- not one that is resolved by yelling at you, under any circumstances. (and I'm sorry....)
"What is a week-end?"
well that is horsesh!t. i'm sorry it didn't go well.
your boss is an a-hole and you should be somewhere where you are treated with respect. good luck with the search!

Oh wow, that sucks. So unprofessional. Good for you for setting your boundaries. I hope you find something new quickly! Hang in there.
