- shockzzz 12y agoThat was definitely not a scream. Maybe it felt like it, but it wasn't.
- jaytaylor 12y agoScream or not, it's still not a defensible way to behave.
- code_duck 12y agoTrue. But based on the situation and the accounts of his behavior, clearly the manager was under a lot of stress.
- DubiousPusher 12y agoAnd nothing says leadership like cracking under stress.
- code_duck 12y agoYeah, I feel sympathetic for the guy but I wouldn't want to hire him.
- DubiousPusher 12y agoThat's downright decent. Don't necessarily condone but always seek to understand. I'm picking up what you're putting down.
