When you know, you know…
That phrase can apply to a lot of things in life, and when you feel it deep in your gut that it’s time to leave a job, it’s to shake it.
And if certain things are helping to push you towards that decision, maybe like getting yelled at by your boss in front of a bunch of people, well, then it’s definitely time to hit the road.
That’s what this guy did and he explained why he ultimately made that decision.
Check out what he had to say.
What happened after your boss chewed you out for some small infraction in front of the people who work for you?
“In the late 1990s, I ran a machine shop.
One day the owner came up to me and started yelling at me for something I knew nothing about.
I said, let’s talk about this in the office.
He said screw that and kept going on about something someone did.
Get off my back!
I turned and started walking away and he said, don’t you walk away from me while I’m talking to you.
I went to my car then went home to get my truck. I went back and got my tools.
Showed him!
A month later I opened my own machine shop and about a year later my old boss went bankrupt.
No matter who you think you are, have respect for people and take them aside.
It’s true…
Never yell at, complain about our confront an employee in from of others.
Take them aside or they might quit on you and others will have no respect for you.”
