Very cruel and unusual...I do the most inhumane things:

I work people to the bone...

Well no actually not really LOL!!!

I'm tough...but a fair leader IMHO!...

I worked in management and if people told me that they weren't going to show up consistently they could look for another job...

I ran a tight ship...because I believed that if you don't show up for work and put your heart into it...you won't show up for the other commitments in your life...

I didn't allow people not to show up...

But I was like that because I wanted to push people...

And I wanted to reward the people that WERE motivated to show up and try hard...

It was one of the things I hated most:

Seeing people promoted because of politics and being favored by managers/owners rather than being promoted because of credentials and work ethic...

In my opinion, this is one of the most detrimentally damaging things a company can do...because they kill the initiative the other hard-working employees had...

and ironically hurt their financial bottom line by causing hard-working employees to leave...

I'm glad I gave my job back to the economy...

Spending 40 years navigating a minefield of connections to the top was too slow for me...

Ever find yourself in situations like that?

Chat soon,
