Very nice article Mike. I've recently left an establishment after a year because the owner's wife wanted me to be a dictator. She expected perfection from them at all times. I explained that if an employee can't do their job they should be let go, but don't deserve to be sworn at and disrespected. Needless to say, it was inevitable that I couldn't stay due to our opposite management styles. The employees did come in for extra shifts when I asked and not for her. They would tell me that the only reason they would work extra is because I asked. You are correct; no one wants to work for a boss like that. It's only a matter of time before the smart workers leave. When I left, 3 of our best employees left a week after me.
