Thinking Fool

True, unless the employee had a gun (or really long knife) and said, "If you don't publicly berate me as loud as you can, I'll kill you."

With the exception of sports team coaches and William Wallace, screaming = loss of any leadership ability, in addition to loss of respect by anyone in earshot. And I hope the boss of that boss was within half a mile.

True. I know when someone starts screaming at me I simply tune them out and think about something else in my head. Also, they look like the screaming raving lunatic.

When someone starts to scream at you, my best advice is to make that face you make right before you are about to crack up but are trying to hold it in. It will "de-throne" them, and in turn will make you appear the bigger person.

It has been my experience that when you want to show your dominance over another the best way to do so is to defficate on their chest. The second best way is to urinate on their face. Just throwing that out there for when you are a boss.

arg. i tried posting the original post again, but i'm not allowed, apparently. where's the love, TF?

Not sure what to tell you, LM. I'm not a techno-wizard. Those duties are handled by the Jewish Buddha. Maybe you just caught the site when it was in a bipolar rage.

The answer to the question is True. However (or so I have heard), that scenario has a tendency to occur all the time in the law field...something I am not particularly looking forward to...

oh TF. i had so much faith in you. ;)

well anyway, all i was going to say was . . . oh i can't remember anymore. something about looking at your watch with noted impatience while your jackass boss yells at you, and then, when he finally shuts his trap, ask, "is that all then?," turn around, and skip away in irritating merriment.

(yay! the love is back! :D)

There's a Jewish Buddha? What happens when you get sick? Miso?

Um, the answer is definitely true. I worked for one such individual who wondered aloud once why he had such a problem with employee retention. I lasted there about a month.
