I was a manager in California for 10 years, and I know you're bluffing. 😉 It's really really hard to fire someone in California.

I don't have a " boss " and I will never have one . I have a director who makes sure I practice within policies and regulations and is there to protect my practice and catch my mistakes for everyone's goodness . Getting fired is a joke to me , my response is " b4 the ink dries to my termination paperwork , there will be 10 positions offered down the street ".
People who work under my supervision will never have to hear or act with the fear of " firing ". I find this cruel . Everybody makes mistakes and the point is to correct them and direct them to right direction . If the basic policies are broken and I am aware of it , I will still give a warning to resign b4 firing / reporting . People have kids to feed and rent to pay . I am not sigh anyone's firing walking papers except if abuse comes to play .

Ah, but how many people are you still friends with whom you regularly hang out with?

Intimidation is one of the tools used by McGregor's "Theory X" managers. A Theory X manager is but a bully who will not get his subordinates to produce quality work.

Unless its your business, youre not the boss. Youre a manager for the boss.

I'm not your underling, I'm an employee who's subordinate to you.

Please go easy on me.
