It’s all part of the act.

[ It’s all part of the act. ]

If it is an act, it is a very off-putting act.

I think it resonates with me because of a previous bad boss I had who berated me infront of our entire team for an issue. This issue that no more than 2 hours afterwards was discovered to be a physical issue with a server and not anything I could have done to fix or mitigate it. They chewed me out infront of all my team members very unprofessionally and angrily.

After the issue was found out the SAME boss took me aside in private to apologize and had to fight back my tears and anger to to compose myself and simply asked very tersely that I would only accept the apology if it was don in front of the team members who were witness to my initial chewing out.

The boss then threatened to write me up for insubordination for this request....

I told them to do and when it got on her boss’s desk I was brought in to her boss, we talked about it and thankfully her boss was reasonable and explained that he had gotten many complaints and some of them about the public humiliation harassment.... He tore up the insubordination report by the way....

They never did fire this crappy boss and I eventually left for greener pastures and am far better for it, but Savage today is just reminding me far too much of this crappy boss I had the displeasure of suffering.

Common as well as immature and tasteless. Belling in Milwaukee berates his call screener every day.
