Whoops

Today, while I was at work, I heard one of my employees laughing on the phone. I told him to shut up and get back to work. Turns out he was actually crying because his father had just died. FML

you know it's people like you that give people like me anxiety disorders

People like you are the reason that good employees leave their jobs. Number one reason that people quit their jobs is a bad supervisor, or manager. For all you know, a laughing employee could be laughing at a joke s customer is making. Don't jump to conclusions. You deserve it. **** yer employees life for not only losing their parent, but also getting yelled at by their shit boss.

You ought to send him to crying training, so he can learn a conventional-sounding cry, and not one that sounds like a laugh.

I hope 12 years has been sufficient time to study Wheaton’s Law and apply it to your life.

What’s the most shocking? That you can’t accept that your employee is laughing or that you tell him to shut up?
