Sigh. This is just another example of normalization of abuse at a workplace. I've worked at workplaces like this. They mental anguish and dread of going to work drained every bit of caring out of me.
I'll gladly take a cut in pay to be treated respectfully. Never again will I put myself in a position like that...
- pinewurst 8y agoNot just normalization but the actual approval of abuse as building character. The CEO is honorable for screaming, the recipient gains by taking it (and doubtlessly asking for more).
- cowpewter 8y agoI'll be honest, if what happened in that meeting happened to me, I'd probably start crying. And I'd start looking for a new job that night. There are far better ways that manager could have made his point than "You're fired, get out. JK, go research instead."
- Nasrudith 8y agoIronically being condescending would be a better approach for once as opposed to unstable rage. As in "Sigh this is a speciality scientific market for big professional markets not a consumer one - more likely swayed by actuaries than shiny. Past decades indicate they care about function over form. Get some hands on research before speaking for customers because your old norms probably don't apply here."
