Am I a bad manager???

by matt_falenski . Updated 25 years, 11 months ago

I had a tech quit, telling me that I sucked as a boss. Without going into every detail, what does everyone think: D was hired to do PC tech work only. We joked at work & became friendly (I now think this was a mistake.) Shortly after he started other tasks like personal web work, and lots of tinkering. He was putting his actual work on hold while he did these “fun” tasks. After 3 hours of him tinkering one day, I told him hed better get going on the PC work he exploded telling me
“I quit, yousuck for a boss, you never do any work, I’ll file lawsuits against you” He was here 3 months when this happened. He quit a month later, stiffing me by calling off sick the last 4 days of work. I never rode him to get anything done, I would ask him what he had planned for the day, and told him things that needed done, but left him alone to do his work. Was it me or him?
