You have to take out the percentage that have killed themselves out of sheer boredom first.

Didn't read that far down before I fired off the first salvo.
Good for you, James!!! Bet you don't have any more trouble from the mouths.

All of this depends on what your definision of "is" is.

If that is the case I guess you would pronounce especially as "specially". </div></BLOCKQUOTE>

One of my head managers asked me the other day if he could take 3 clients to play golf which we do on occasion. I told him to wait a few weeks becuase cash flow sucks right now. He said OK and that he understood. I overheard him tell someone "Oh but if he needed money for the Hummer, we'de have cash then." I got pissed and he appologized. I outta can his ass right? I have to deal with this crap from people I dont pay so why should I have to deal with it here, wear I pay his salary! Right!?!?!

Tower:

I will take your post as a sincere effort to communicate. Let me express this:

I just gave my opinion and for the past two days Paragon has shadowed my posts, trying to ridicule and insult. Why have you not spoke up about this?

I have only responded each time to a "Paragon" attack, I have never started it.

Now, why do you ignore this fact? What would you do? I have a right to expose this for what it is. A waste of time.

Reread this topic and my other posts, and let the readers decide!

I look forward to your fair, balanced views.

Hart,

I wasn't going to continue on this thread, but I simply cannot tolerate this. You didn't find the Jehovah’s Witness religion to be a good fit. That speaks well for your ability to reason (even if it took years for you to come to that realization). You now have read books by various authors that resonate with you. I'm glad for you. If you can't find your own way, I'm glad that you have guides. But you are now proselytizing with the same fervor you demonstrated in your JW days. You are unwittingly thinking that if this is the way for you, it must be the way for everyone. This is exactly the pitfall of your JW thinking. You are as a man trying to teach basic addition to Gauss. Paragon's comments were spot on. Please stop embarrassing yourself by trying to convince others that you have a superior or esoteric way. No one is buying it. No one here is interested in having you as a teacher.

Since you seem so rapt in the quotations of others, I will leave you with this one. It has a few slightly different forms which have been variously attributed to Abe Lincoln, Mark Twain and Albert Einstein:

“ 'Tis better to be silent and be thought a fool, than to speak and remove all doubt.”

The absence of a rebuttal from you will prove your ability to learn.

Your current viewpoint that I come across as "arrogant" is regrettable. I was being positive about the information I wanted to share, nothing more. And I now regret sharing it.

By "esoteric" I mean those principles which are above man-made ideas, and which can therefore change and uplift a receptive man or woman. As an example, I was trying to get James to look at this troublesome event in a new way; instead of battling the event, using facts to understand it. However, it seems most have rejected exploring this path (hence the word "esoteric").

If James' goal was to punish, then he has indeed done quite well. However, if his goal was to correct a mistake (opening one's mouth before one thinks, we are all condemned, then), then he has failed, miserably.Keeping employees "inline" (or anyone for that matter) with fear, will only get you so far.

What if there was a way to correct the problem and at the same time increase employee loyalty, without using fear? In fact, there is.

I am a Division Manager for a very affuent and respected City, with numerous staff under my direction, and I interact with the community often, so I do speak from experience.

"To be aware that we are unaware is an especially valuable from of awareness" </div></BLOCKQUOTE>You should regret it. But I don't see it as arrogance. For me, for one to display arrogance, they would need to back up that display and you are quickly losing points in that game. You state, "I was trying to get James to look at this troublesome event in a new way; instead of battling the event, using facts to understand it." Frankly put, "battling" an event and "understanding" it does not mutually exclude each other. What is funny here is that you assume to "understand" the situation better than the person involved and purport to offer a better solution to something you have a minute amount of details about. What would possess someone to provide such direct opinion on something based solely on one simple post made in frustration? Others here have offered various opinions but not so much to say that he was just wrong. Your word of the day usage of "esoteric" belies the idea that you have some great human understanding that makes you qualified to offer opinion in matters such as this.

I guarantee the guy knows exactly why he got fired and in the future will probably not talk **** about the boss when he's within earshot. This has nothing to do with "ego" and everything to do with insubordination and a total lack of respect. The fact that some of you would actually condone this type of behavior in a business that you own, is amazing in itself. It's his company, he can fire whoever he wants. In the state of Kansas, you are at "at will employee", which means you can get fired for any or no reason whatsoever. Kind of makes you double check your surroundings before talking about the man. </div></BLOCKQUOTE>"At Will" states are great. I had all employees sign a form stating they understood what that meant.
