This concept is exactly why I will not hire freinds or usually family. Just too much expectation, they know your weekness and how to exploit them and why loose a friend or piss off the family in order to do them a favor by hiring them!

I want to comment on people “getting along” at work. To some extent, it’s necessary, but as people get to know each other from seeing the same people everyday, relationships form and fall apart. You will develop an opinion about every person you deal with on a regular basis. That opinion will either be positive or negative. Regardless of what the opinion is, it alters your interaction with that person. Still regardless of the opinion, it effects your business.

I happen to work really well under the supervision of managers that I absolutely hate. While the managers that I’m friendly with, I tend to joke around with more often and know how far I can go with my laziness.

I’m working on getting along with the hot girls at work, this effects my performance because I’m more focused on them, than the company’s business. If I was not attracted to them, or hated their guts, or they were married/unavailable, I would work more diligently.

My point is: Being on friendly terms with coworkers/supervisors may not be the best thing for a business.

I never make things miserable for people who work for me. Working for me is so good people should pay me to work here.

I consider not getting along with others at work part of any job description. If you can’t do that, you’re a combo firing. Refer to #1 and #3 above - “you did something wrong” and “you’re terrible at what you did”.

the bossman Ive seen before would never fire someone he would make life so misserable for them they would quit.

Actually most people get fired not becuase they cannot do thier job but because they cannont get along with others they work with.

Firing people can also be like dumping a lover. You give that person (and yourself) a chance to find someone different and start over.

The forests generate immense heat and cause their own forest fires to burn away old rotting crap that takes up precious space in nature to make room for new life. Bossman, you are like Mother Nature; an all powerful being of delicate beauty and intricate madness, and at the same time a ruthless raging force prepared to wipe the Earth clean in order to start all over again.
