    Yeah, really. Bust their butt and they will mostly stop. Expelling someone can ruin their chances later in life just when they get started. The punishment doesn't appear to fit the crime.

    I don't get it either. If he was not actually harming anyone else, who gets to decide what exactly is profanity with words. I know it when I see it but not when I read about it.

    It was his equipment. So why the expulsion? It's worse than paddling in the schools used to be. Bust his hind end in front of his peers and go on. His parents should be the ones to do this.

    Well there needs to be an exception called exported oil. Either that or limit it. There are ways despite my lack of knowledge, I'm sure to make sure the US at least has first pick of it's own natural resources. After all it's our country and not someone elses.

    --If you're telling your employees to do things in a specific timeframe, you'd better have a damn good reason for doing so - like being able to do so yourself.--

    I have to agree there. On the other hand if you have done something 100 times and carefully explain to someone how to do the job the usual answer is well we didn't do it that way at the last place I worked to which I say this is a different place. That's what I'm talking about and it's funny how they get moved around all over the place until they manage you without knowing anything about any particular job as it normally takes someone 2 years to get good at what they do. I'm just saying some never do become good except maybe at BSing.

    No, no, if the waste is that hot, why not reprocess it? They already buy the lower level stuff in salt mines (1000 years or so). The other has more to do with politics than actual fact about nuclear proliferation which started under Jimmy Carter and hasn't went away yet. At a minimum these old plants need replacing.

    If someone understands something right away as long as they follow the specification. If you have to set and do the whole problem for so called creative people (not sure box stackers are not creative), then why not just do whatever it is yourself? This seems to be the only way to get a job done the way you want whether it's the so called right way or not.

    I guess I'm just saying some have to much interactive feedback and question every minor detail. As long as it works, I guess.

    You have to be kidding. He learned everything from his hard nosed salesman father. That Steve Jobs could sell ice to an Eskimo even after death. He did some things people don't like but it's very hard to argue that he was a very successful salesman. The best leaders have followers and he had lots of those too.

  13. Re:That's been my experience on Do Women Make Better Bosses? · · Score: 1

    I have found women to lie more than men bosses as well. Of course there are exceptions. Women also tend to focus on unimportant things like a carpet stain or saving money at the dollar store even though they have enough money to spend their time taking in the big picture. It generally takes them much longer to make decisions especially when a quick one is needed but if they can hold up their end of the log, I have no problems with them, but yeah in the US women tend to talk too much at work. I bet it's different in other countries though.

    To do what you just said you really have to understand what your company does. The person in charge needs to know something about everything that goes on with what they manage. You sometimes get people that come in and try to run things like their last job which may be completely different.

    Yep tell your employees I want this done and by when and don't say a thing unless it's not done. Simple hire people you don't have to baby sit.

    Side note: This can also be bad if your employees don't have clear lines of responsibility.

    I don't wanna be against women but you are correct. It's simple one is not better than another. Women are better at some things in general and so are men. It's simple testosterone levels IMO.

    I think you are wrong. I have seen many more male bosses fail because there are more male bosses. The reason, testosterone. The more you have, the less it bothers you to fire someone whom needs it. Women are pretty good as CFO's though but not CEO's. Ask HP?

    Kinda hard to pack and go to North Dakota as housing is not available there to house all of the people it will take to fill their jobs. If the housing market is down where you live, unemployment and under employment has to be bad there as well. So you may not have enough money to go. And if you are in your 40's/50's and got canned, you are likely wanting too keep your kids in the same school and maybe your wife doesn't want to move. People haven't been packing up and going to where the jobs are as easy as lets say the early 80's which had high unemployment.

    Things are much worse now.
