Bosses 11.23.14

Happy Monday!

I woke up this morning thinking about bosses in general, probably because I don't have a job right now.  For the most part, every one of my bosses has been a dream to work with.  They have been compassionate, caring, listened, were never loud and unruly, or rude in the slightest way.  I wish all bosses were like that.  I truly feel being a good boss is part of having a good employee.  If you are rude and unruly, people are less likely to want to stick around.  Who wants to be yelled at, whether it be in person, or via email with words capitalized or in all red?  I sure as heck don't.  I'm not a cry baby but I don't take too well to scare tactics.  They make me quickly look for a way out because dealing with tyrants physically affects me, and my healthy well being is far more important.  You can't put a dollar amount on physical and mental well being.  You just can't.  If I'm no good, it seeps into every aspect of my life, every relationship and I become hard to deal with because I'm cranky and irritable. Because I know this, I feel like I'm hypersensitive to the bad vibes that people give off and I try to avoid those people.  It's not easy avoiding your boss.  Besides, who wants to be spend years avoiding someone just to have a job?  Not me.  Don't get me wrong, I know bosses have a hard time as well, dealing with different personalities and different work styles.  I get that but that in no way excuses child-like behavior when you are clearly an adult.  No yelling or scare tactics are required to get your point across....ever.  People will tune you out.  Trust me, I've done it.  Nobody wants to deal with that.

All of my bosses, except for 1, have been women.  My very first boss was a man.  He was great.  I often wonder if he's still working for the company, and if not, what is he doing.  I only left that job because I became pregnant and climbing up and down ladders with boxes was not a good idea.  He told me I could come back if I wanted to.  I should have gone back.  It was actually a great company to work for.  I still shop there to this day.  Maybe I will look him up.

Well, being that it's Monday, I need to focus on earnings today so I suppose I can't just sit here and blog all day.  I mean I could, and maybe one day I will become a professional blogger.  You never know.  For now, I just enjoy talking about what's going on in my life.

Until next time,
