This post comes to you while I’m in a venting mode, the head boss here is very ego-centric, very tight and just has no concept of how to treat his employees as human beings. This will sound petty to you guys but trust me as much you can trust someone you don’t know — this is one tiny example upon hundreds throughout the years. I’m doing my work quietly minding my own business and the department employees begin asking me general conversation questions, so I answer them. In mid-answer the “boss” walks in hears me talking (mind you I am working AND talking at the same time) and he says (I’m paraphrasing) “You know if you wouldn’t talk to them, they could get some work done.”
He always butts in like this to folks, no respect of what they are even talking about no clue to what is going on. Earlier he saw another tech fixing his son’s own computer (that is the boss’s son) and not knowing what was going on…he said “wow we pay IS folks and they can’t fix anything”.
The tech was in the middle of showing the boss’s son how something works, the computer wasn’t broke.
So my question is…is there a professional rule or some ethic or maturity level that would be violated if upon someone leaving a job to take the time to give the boss a piece of their mind?
I mean I’m not stupid — obviously everyone thinks of this, but I mean is there any “right” way that doesn’t make the employee look worse for just saying what needs to be said?
