Welcome!

I used to hate my job, now I have a new one! This is my process for getting through it staying healthy, and hopefully finding something more fulfilling and less stressful to my body. If you feel me follow me, if you think I am a complainer read on... it gets better.

The way to piss off your employee

1. The Passive-Aggressive Copy, or CC/BCC. The "cc and bcc-ing" behavior of my bosses leaves me feeling micromanaged and humiliated among co-workers. If you blind copy everyone and I hear about it I am going to hate you, boss or not.

2. Talk more than you listen. This is where an iphone or learning to blank stair comes in handy. I don't care about your name dropping or that you are ancient, I just want to get my job done and your idiot lecture means nothing to me.

3. Constantly underestimate the time it takes to get things done. Learn to do it yourself or consult with your employees, I am not your mom and you will look like an ass when you don't meet deadlines with clients because I won't be promising them unrealistic times, you will me. Oh and your bad so I am not staying late. 

4. Make promises to customers but have no idea on the elements involved in getting the task done. MR. O and April did you heat that!!!! You have no idea!!!!

5. Give employees low raises because the more you save, the higher your bonus. Psssssh We don't get raises here, we just have pointless reviews. 

6. Give advice on topics you are only partially educated in.  Again Mr. O and April! LISTEN!

7. Get mad at your employees for using their benefits.  Hey you offer them...(i.e. flex time April it is in my contract)

8. making them sign in and sign out when there is an expectation already to be there and they are not hourly.

9. Not knowing or trying to lean about equipment in the office that you use. I have no interest in babysitting.

10. Having unrealistic expectations that your employees can excel at a job made for 4 people, with no real direction provided as to the importance of their role or task. 

11. Offer no training, then complain that no one is trained.  This one just cracks me up :)

And lastly my favorite... Can you google this for me? No you stupid wench Google it yourself! You will get the same answer that I do and then won't look like an idiot. They even have a website for this ... Let me Google that for you. Or what I would like to use when asked the question... just fucking google it.

So bottom line...If you don’t treat your employees well, then there is no good product, if you don't have a good product you don’t serve your customer, no customer = no work and no money! Business 101.
