I have worked with an abusive, yelling boss in the past, and several of us who had to work directly with him, had to learn how to manage him before he got to that stage and beyond. He was not a happy man, nor a pleasant one to be around. I wished I had said that simple phrase when I was on the receiving end of his tirade, which came about through his own lck of planning...I would have loved to see his reaction. Unfortunately, this man's attitude was that it was everybody elses fault and not his own. Well done!

The Chicks need to realize that when we have our husbands and sons lives at risk they are aiding and abbetting, as should have been learned from Jane Fonda who now expresses her regrets (too late) Nobody attacked the Dixie Chicks, America voiced its feelings as it is there right to do.

I love your comment on how management initially blamed you, the employee, for being too sensitive. Were you perhaps listening too loudly? ;^) Regardless of an employee's level of sensitivity, history of abuse, or level of self-esteem, they have the right to be treated with dignity and respect.
