Motivational? I think not...

[TENGRAM]

Be happy that you have a job...

[Mike]

You are a prick.

<-- didn't get bonus check.

I'm using it to buy new carpet in my office. I warned you to stop shitting on the floor.

Reason #572 I became a manager; so I could avoid those type of dishits. They still exsist further up the ladder, but aren't nearly as bad. It's funny how much less bullshit I have to put up with running the show, and most people further down the line think it is a hard job.

Your bosses way of handling these situations is stupid and immature. However he's probably getting a lot of shit from his superiors. Therefore the shit rolls downhill ma man.

I will agree with this. I know for a fact my boss deflects a ton and gets it 10x worse from his boss.

We had a decent month at work, not great by any means and missed our goal by less than 10% and the entire month

He doesn't sound all that bad. I would stab you in the throat, and fire everone in the office if we missed our goal by "less than 10%", and they thought that was a "decent month".

phil jackson does not know the egos johnny--2k's boss has to deal with.

I will agree that shit rolls down hill, and I know he is getting it from his boss and so on, it's just the attitude that portrays.

I love the job, and I have fun doing it, but it is just degrading to hear that every day. I'd be ok if it was maybe once a week, just as a swift kick in the ass to get people going, but daily it gets quite irritating.

Kyle, more power to you! I could have used you last week when my alternator shat itself on the way to work monday morning. Made for one shitty last week of the month! lol

Anyways, back to the grind....glad I'm not the only one that has to deal with this!

Gay porn, didn't you get the part were his boss was on his ass all month and the shit rolls downhill?

[stevo]

It sounds like none of you have ever told your boss to shut the fuck up. It works.

Anyone else have a boss that just focus' on the negative and never the positive? We had a decent month at work, not great by any means and missed our goal by less than 10% and the entire month the boss was just reaming us all out, daily!

To me, being a good manager/boss does not entail instilling fear into your employees, but rather motiviating through encouragement, constructive criticism, and focusing on what we can do to improve, not hounding on the stuff that went wrong, then calling everyone lazy, worthless, and telling them that if they dont get their act together, they can find another job.

To me, if I am in the shitter already, being put down and stomped on is not going to make me want to work any harder, it's quite the opposite. I just want to sit around and do nothing to spite him.

My idea: Hey guys, last month sucked, but it was last month and it's over. No need to fester over it. This is a new month, lets pick up the pace, have some fun, and blow our goal out of the water.

Is that so hard to say?

OK, I'm done ranting now...

Sounds like you work for a military or para-miltary organization. Was your boss in the service or an ex-cop?


I hate people who motivate out of fear of discipline.

Nope, in the wonderful world of cars....

boss is a car guy, always has been, always will be. assholes and elbows is his favorite saying lol.

I've been in the car biz for awhile, about 6 years at a dealership in WI before coming down here. I started in sales, then moved into finance, also took over the internet sales dept, was a floor/sales mgr, a backup service writer, and still sold here and there during the last three years.

It's what I know, and what I enjoy...so I just have to suck it up and deal with it. Hoping to move back into finance soon, just had to get back into sales and work my way back up the ladder unfortunately.

Awwww, I'm just a cuddly old guy....
