I'd love to work for that guy. Sounds like he doesn't fuck around. I'm sure I'd be his right hand man and have hours of fun laughing while he outright rapes his incompetent employees.

$100k a year doesn't sound bad either - to start, of course.

Sounds like a boss about to lose his job, I dont hate the man, sounds like his employees are the weak link - Im sure he took his time dealing with them, but shit if you don't do work, dont expect to get paid. Dont confuse an asshole with a responsible person put in this situation.

I would benefit from harsh structure like that...I usually do well under that sort of environment

I bet he's about to get the ax and is looking to take down a few people with him

Given california's extremely broad definition of long term disability related to stress, I find it hard to believe that a mangager would use profain language in attempting to motivate employees to perform well. I personally would bust his ass up against a wall and tell him good fuckin day, ass wipe!

I used to have a boss like that. Thankfully he was mysteriously 'done in' very shortly after I walked out. (Can't imagine who'd do such a thing???)
