Good article. Years ago I took a job working for a company who had a supervisor who had a nasty way of belittling everyone he supposedly “lead.” One day he called me in and tried this shit on me and I responded by laughing at him. “I can fire you,” he yelled at me. “And I can hit you in the face,” I replied. “That’s sure to get you fired,” he said. “And you’ll get fired, too, you sonnuvabitch,” I said. “When a fight breaks out in your department, don’t you think your bosses will want to know what the hell is going on down here? So we’ll both be out the door.” A look of fear came across that man’s face as he recognized the truth. “So why don’t we just get along?” I asked. He agreed and we did. Lotsa luck.
