    the worst archetype of coworker (not even a boss!) is the one that yells at you to work faster/harder but does nothing. its basically the same thing but i shut down from people yelling at me so i leave the room or call instantly :ohnoes:

          Outsource them to a North Korean. That way you can be lazy and commit light treason at the same time. :kim-peace:

        i've never left on the spot like that because of yelling but held my anger in and left when i was ready to a few weeks or months later after i had something lined up. but yeah, i've had managers tell me to kill myself in front of all my coworkers and scream at the top of their lungs over some bullshit while micromanaging everything all day and underpaying us. generally speaking if the manager is also the owner its worse because its their money so they think they own you now wheras in the other case its just their career but they can still be manipulative as shit. fuck em

          "their money"

          All those fuckers do is sign a check to give us back a portion of our money. But I'm preaching to the choir lol

            true, he was probably grifting some investor anyway tbh

            we all knew his business had no chance of surviving too (and it didn't) and it drove him insane that we knew it, so he would lash out by timing our bathroom breaks, having three strikes rules about being 1 minute late to work, writeups for using a different text editor, writeups for looking at social media, underpaying and other shit like that. the particular day that he was screaming at me i had basically let him know its not a big deal that we had a production outage because we have no clients anyway so who gives a shit but now that i think about it his clients were the investors he was grifting.
