When justice is on your side and there's nothing said boss can do to stop the abusing?
Seriously? I just realized that the real reason I still work where I do is because of all the wonderful opportunities I have to tell various managers to :daisy: off. If there's anything better than sex, this has got to be it.
Now, does this make me a sociopath?

Not at all, my friend, I did it several times before becoming a state employee, it's much like a long orgasm. Now, my boss being either Sarkozy and France in general, I can't do it efficiently anymore and that's a shame.:yes:

You’ll need some ointment for a burn like that.
Yelling at my boss isn’t nearly as fun as proving he is an idiot if front of his boss. Then getting him to buy me lunch afterwards is like sugar in my ice tea.
Lets hear it for idiot bosses! ~:cheers:

Yelling = unemployment benefit.
This goes for the whole of my, erm, one-and-a-half underlings. Well, maybe not for that hot chick that through no interference from me recently got transferred. Which leaves that part-time bloke. He's physically weak, which, apart from serving to accentuate my strong manliness to 'her', means he gets to endure me yelling at him. Must suck to be him. Such is life.

A bit of dandyism from my part: I only yelled at my boss if I had already decided to leave the job. It happened often. I'm really sad I won't be able to yell at Sarko if I leave the ONF (French Forestry Office).
Besides that, if the hierarchy is technically inept (:beam:something that never happens, of course:wall:), it's my duty to .... up their nerves as much as they .... up my task. I love my job, and hate to be told to make it bad.

Bah, I've basically made myself unfireable. I know so much about my company's shady business they'd be idiots to fire me. Not to mention the number of mistakes my boss has made which basically makes it impossible to legally fire me, and I've got a free lawyer for the resulting lawsuit if he tries to :whip:
Oh, and I don't really "yell", as in shouting loudly. I like the cold approach, where I point out where I point out his "mistakes"/crimes. The manner you would explain something obvious to a complete moron(also used on my ex a lot after we broke up :beam: ).

Having to tick off the "sex" box in various forms isn't what's usually called sex. That's your gender. Sorry.

There are two types of yelling that can happen, from my experience.
The 'Macedonian Army in India' type where a work crew has worked 3 days straight for 18-20 hrs a day and they are way too tired and a bit cuckoo in the head from lack of sleep. This has happened a couple of times and it is usually resolved by telling them the truth (that they are too tired and not clear in the head ). It is understandable, I forgive it, I received an apology.
The 'I feel like I m irreplacable' person who soon ends up cleaning overflooded toilets (we get to do some pretty nasty stuff at our job). I ve never fired anyone in anger. It's oh so much more satisfying to demote someone who thinks he is irreplacable and it works wonders for the staff morale too :laugh4:
It is rule no.1 in my list 'Noone is irreplacable, the firm will survive'

@ rasoforos - "It is rule no.1 in my list 'Noone is irreplacable, the firm will survive'" That is what my last company said b4 i left and they went into bankruptcy. sometimes the person defines the company. maybe not at your firm but i have seen it a few times where 1-2 key people leave and it criples the company and the people left behind were completely dumbfounded. ~D morons

In very small companies that can be the case. At 80 people it is not and if it is then it is a result of very poor management and poor forward planning.
We also have a approx 85% 'I am sorry I wanna come back' rate :laugh4: It's like the 'org

85% cowards. I'd have expected better of Greece. Probably the proportion of cowards is the same in any societies at anytime though.

It is a big man who says sorry for something they did do wrong.
It is also rank stupidity to throw away a job if that is your only source of income and you have no other prospects at that time. Better to leap frog from job to job. Also if someone has a family, then food on the table is a higher priority then their ego.

Its not about them being cowards. We are just a very good employer, we pay good money and support our people when they need us and go way beyond employer's duty to do that, but as it happens everywhere in the world people only realize that we are good when they leave us :inquisitive:

About a month ago I quit from my job. But before resigning I asked for a raise just to see how much I am worth fopr my boss. He said it was special to work for him and also he said that we were doing a sacred job increasing the profitability of other firms. Anyway I did not get the raise and since I was very much underpaid I just walked away from my job on the brink of economic recession easily.
There is nothing better in world than telling abusive masturbators to :daisy: off...
Having a boss you don't need/want to yell at. :2thumbsup:

Such negativity is bad for the soul. Quietly and cheerfully doing your work, and using your lunchtime and weekends to come up with new and innovative ideas to improve production which you then share with your boss so he can take all the credit for them, is MUCH better than yelling at your boss.
You--> :yes: :whip: <-- Me Your boss
