I worked in a call center for Cablevision, and the director went on a firing spree. Fired preg women who came in 1-5 min late, and other real petty things. Fired other people for reasons that would never get you fired at a normal job..

So, I sent an e-mail to the ceo, and his exec’s explaining the director was a nazi.
They fired me!
I got a 6 mo vacation on unemployment and found a real job..

But, I got em good.

These images also remind me of my previous work experiences. In the majority of my old jobs i was treated like crap and had no incentive to work hard or even work at all. By the end of almost every job, I came to hate almost all of the management. Even though I didn’t rebel like this, I still wasn’t too eager to ever come back to work for those companies. At my most recent job, which was a small upholstery company, i worked directly with the entrepreneur. I learned a lot of things, but by far the most important thing I learned was in order to have great, long term employees, you have to treat them right including good pay so that they don’t just walk out on you for a competitor.

Pissing off employees can really hurt your businees since THEY do the main work not YOu. Bosses delegate work, so they must put themselves in their employees feet and see for a second how hard it is for them too. If they are genuinely wasting office resources, they should be handed the pink slips. Other than that, social functions where employees and employers meet in a relaxed environment, bonuses for employee’s hard work recognition and other such things boost employee morale, strongly affecting company success.

Hmm…they look like they have been Photoshopped. Original link anyone?

A real nice guy was recently fired at work because he stood up to some unfair treatment. He
the gm in the face. If that’s not reason enough not piss off the employees, I don’t know what
is. Also, happy and satisfied employees in anything to do with person to person sales is of
the utmost importance.

The pictures are great! Sometimes it’s great to see someone sticking it to the man.

Given the product these guys are selling, I’d say it would be a fun place to work at because it’s small right now, and the product development and testing should be pretty sweet! Haha

As an owner of my own small landscape firm at home, in Madison, IN, I have a few years of experience with dealing with employees as well as NOT PISSING THEM OFF. Well, first of all, I think you don’t piss them off by keeping them motivated and productive in the first place. I try to give my guys goals to work toward and rewards for meeting those goals. I try to praise them for anything they’ve done well in front of people at work and discuss things they need to work on individually.

I know Know first hand how it feels to hate your employer. I worked at the movies for 1 1/2 years and hated every minute that I was on the clock. Walking into my job made me physically ill. Every day I did everything in my control to let every customer know that our employers treated us horribly.Some lady even contacted some type of regional officials and came an observed our working conditions.
When people are unhappy with their jobs they let it show, when I hire employees I will do everything in my power to create a comfortable work enviornment because I know how they felt.

The moral of this is not how to treat you employees better, but damage control. After you fire your employees, you should restrict there access to customers as much as possible. As a boss, you will have to fire people and they will be pissed. You should assume they might do something vengeful.

Your employees are the faces and arms of your business, if they’re happy they’ll be more efficient and take more pride in their work. And on the flip, if they’re not content, it could get ugly, just like the pics illustrate.
