Dave is a love or hate type of boss. I think I would love him. I would rather know what to expect than a boss thinking I can read their mind.
If you love being verbally abused and humiliated, he’s definitely the employer for you!
Dave, its not about not doing the work, but some bosses are just a$$holes.
Dave is for sure the boss from hell from the sound of things from this video lol
That's good!!! You'll either learn how things are supposed to be done or you'll be weeded out!
@@cryptomagnet8204 yep. As an employee the boss better not be a jerk, or they'll be weeded out.
@@kbanghart sounds like the inmates run the asylum where you work. I was a supervisor and manager for the past 20 years. If my employees cried each time I told them "no" or "get off your phones" and I were to get in trouble... then yes, that is a poorly run establishment. If you don't want to come to work to do "work" then you can leave. And feel free to call that toxic.
@@leechburglights yeah, I mentioned none of that 🤣
"We don't yell and scream at Ramsey. We don't cuss at our team."
There's literal evidence that this is not true.
How do you know this and what evidence?
@@douglasvamateurradioandmore Ex employees have been interviewed where they share audio of how he talked to them in meetings. Look into somone being fired from Ramsey for premarital sex.
Hell even recently Dave threw George under the bus about 4% withdrawal rates during the show.
I can't imagine working there.
No way would I ever even think of applying.. just one reason, he hates WFH. Nope bye. @@lepoj
He and his co hosts ridicule and belittle anyone who disagrees with them so if that’s the level of arrogance and disrespect they treat their viewers and callers with, imagine what goes on behind closed doors.
You know, it's interesting.I lived in Taiwan and the truth is that most people even young people they know.That is not something you want in your life.
I came back a few months ago only to go back.
I've lived in three asian countries and what I find is that people have a better sense of using money.
And amazes me how people Go into business or save as much as they do and invest.
Whatever country you live in it's not a bad thing to work while you're young.
It is destructive.
To take out a lot of debt and not be able to pay it back until you're old.
If the boss is having a bad time, you don't take it out on your employees.
In a perfect world, yes
Thats one aspect of the old school mindset that I wish would go away. You're expected to just deal with disrespect or you're a snowflake lol
But their egos couldn't take it back if you matched the same energy.
@@janelleg597 I had a "Supervisor like that but, he made things "personal" that had nothing to do with the job. What goes around comes around, and it sure did.
@@Alvin-xs7db Being a boss from hell is one thing but, making it personal is another thing. Nothing to do with the job.
I got some really good advice, I'm not sure from where: somebody told me to figure out something that everyone else at work hates to do and get really good at it. Great job security.
That's what I was taught. The thing is, you have to be ready for when others see your talent, commitment, and skill. I got really good at a job everyone hated, but in the end that job only went so far. Then they get upset that I wanted transferred or promoted to earn more. Meanwhile, I was at the pay cap and there was no forward movement. You also have to realize your worth and know when it's time to move onward and upward.
I legit had a terrible boss. Toxic environment and zero discipline for her. Just heard from an old coworker that two people walked out last week (these are corporate, office positions that take a long time to interview for). Boss has finally been placed on a temporary leave. Hoping they make some changes.
Dave, there are terrible bosses out there. Get over yourself.
If it’s one boss it’s probably them, if everyone is it’s probably you.
Yeah notice how Dave HAD to go blame the employee lol.
@kbanghart hes not blaming him,hes just asking him if its possible if maybe the employee is the one who is really the problem. Just think about it, this guy is getting fired and he just started. Im not a betting man but i feel like the employee is probably the issue
I had a girl bullying me to tears every week in a daycare setting and management would do nothing about it. She “corrected” me over lesson plans. I would go to the boss and ask if I’m doing things wrong and explain my reasonings on what I did, and the boss would be like “she said what? No. Your lesson plans are perfectly fine.” And then I’d keep doing as I was told was fine, and worse & worse things from my co teacher would happen. I still stuck it out until I got another job. That job was mental TORTURE
Your statement resonates with me so much. I worked at a restaurant about 25 years ago. The owner purchased the business from another franchisee and my team was assembled to come in, hire, and retrain the staff for their newly remodeled location. 50% of the crew was new. We had a LOT of bad seeds, people who were miserable because their job or role was changed.
First the veteran (leaders as we were told to refer to them as) team members would brow-beat the new employees, telling them to not do things the way our training staff and trained them. They would insist the new team members pick up more work and do extra side jobs, clearly to help complete work the veterans didn't want to do. I had new employees say, "wow they have me doing extra work outside of what you told me, is this normal?" I'd then have to go and address it with these "leaders". In my book, a leader is someone who can do the work, and guide other's through the process. That doesn't mean they are a "boss", or give them the right to pawn off their work on other people. We had around 7 of these type of employees.
It was a great job while it lasted. I was quickly promoted to General Manager. We had sales-breaking weeks year-over-year for the next 3 years. The owner made tons of profit. But yet, I never got a raise and was expected to continue working 6 days a week. I proactively found a job with a higher pay and decided to leave, but the owner came in and relieved me 3 days later. It was and a great 4 years while it lasted. Onward and upward.
Daycare teachers are notorious for being nasty people. It really attracts the worst and you will see stories like yours all the time on the FB daycare groups.
I fired my bad boss. Keep your skills in demand and be open to work places you don't initially think would be a good fit. I thought the job was a great fit and it was not, therefore jobs I think aren't a good fit might be. I'm glad I moved, and part of this was having a sustainable budget. Job loss should be part of your plan.
I’m bet your old boss thanks you for that!
Dave has a good point. Regardless of where you work, there’s always going to be a-holes everywhere. Grow some thick skin, and keep working hard.
My worst boss was so cheap, demanding, bossy with little regard for others. I left (as did many of my colleagues). She later got fired for stealing from the company. I’m not smiling at all
I've worked for about 10 bosses at this point in my career, including people from 5 different countries. I can flex with different styles. However, I had ONE boss who seemed super nice in the interview, but on day two of work I got a sinking feeling when I heard how she talked to people, and within the first week it was evident the person was emotionally abusive. After a few weeks, I called two of my prior bosses who knew me well and were mentors to me to ask their advice on how to respond in this setting, and they told me some strategies for handling it but also suggested I give myself permission leave. They said leaving in a short timeframe once is forgivable without it being a major hit to my resume - so I started applying for other roles right away and left after I landed a new offer. It was such a relief, and thankfully, I ended up back in sane work territory again! Yes, people need to be willing to flex with different styles, rise to the occasion, and even toughen up to a degree, but it's ok to have limits with what you're willing to tolerate. I am so glad that some folks older and wiser than me reminded me that I had autonomy!
Ken Coleman with those “help me” eyes 😂😂😂 I’m wheezing
Perhaps...just perhaps...Jeff could ask his boss how he's doing at this job that he enjoys so much, that pays so well. The worst that could happen would be the boss confirms Jeff's suspicions, and then he'd know he needs to look for another job, instead of guessing. Communication...crazy idea, I know, but I'm kinda old-school like that!
AND - why does he think he's about to get fired? If it were me I would ask the boss if he's dissatisfied with my work and how can I improve my performance? Like Dave and Ken say, that boss just might not have the wisdom or experience to have a conversation like that so it's up to the employee to initiate it.
I can't even believe the Ramsey team even took on this email. There are No Details.
Dave has had soooo many complaints as a boss, he gets PTSD about employee complaints. You can see Dave’s ego here.
There are bad bosses that make workplace environments impossible to feel secure in.
I cooked professionally for decades. My last "boss" (supposed to be at least as qualified as me to be my boss, right?) didn't know how to cook plain RICE without a rice cooker.
AND he was a ego driven jerk who would say things like, "everything is done, you just have to do it" and not realize the irony.
So many people over use the term toxic and narcissist. A boss is there to make sure you do the work, no coddle and entertain you. We got lazy after the lockdown.
Nope, people were lazy before lockdowns 🤣 you just hear about it now more. And, people have a name for it... "toxic".
My boss tells me my faith is stupid, calls his associates morons and incompetent, belittles and gaslights everyone around him using their church life, their devotion to their children, wives and families as marks of professional weakness.
Found the toxic boss ☠️
@@15KHPCLUB Cry me a river!
Boy Dave sure is obviously bringing in a lot of his personal problems on this one. He's assuming so many things none of which this person said. He just assumes this guy is lazy or whiny? Why? Why not assume he's telling the truth and answer his question A simple hey make sure you're not contributing to this would have sufficed. I clicked on this because I'm currently dealing with the boss from hell. I feel bad for this guy because he just got more crap rained down upon him
Ken’s face is saying a lot here. Dave went straight to assuming things. Dave clearly felt triggered because he has probably been accused of being a toxic boss or having a toxic work environment.
In todays world, people aren’t putting up with BS at work anymore. You shouldn’t be taking verbal abuse and disrespect over presentations and spreadsheets and you aren’t a “wuss” over it. Own up to your mistakes or your part as an employee but that gives your boss no right to treat you like crap.
That's being a wuss! If you can't take the heat get out of the kitchen!!! Every job should be ran like a high-school basketball coach when they're losing, or bootcamp! Pain wether it's physical or mental is the greatest reminder!!! Pain can shape us, challenge us, and ultimately guide us toward growth and transformation.
I appreciate Dave’s opinion even if I have to stop and think more about my actions. It grounds me.
I think I’m in a toxic environment. Worked 60+ h a week for months. People keep asking why things aren’t completed when physically it’s hard to do something when assigned at 7 pm on a Friday that takes about 20 h if not more to do by Monday morning when the company doesn’t work weekends and we’re not supposed to do lab work on our own for safety reasons. Then there’s the constant demands and belittling for not knowing something that was never communicated.
I just try and think why did this happen and is it my fault. It’s hard.
@@cryptomagnet8204You sound psychotic.
Dave is from a generation where men were men and everyone didn’t sit around with hurt little feelings
@@kenonsavage yeah and these same men raised a generation of men who were effected by those standards. and now we live in a society where a man doesn’t want to be abused at work like dave is used to. Meanwhile dave is the same person who has had multiple issues with his workers including lawsuits.
Letter: My boss is horrible
Dave: You're a wimp!
Not at all what he said but ok
@@antonioiniguez1615 That is what he said.
@@jimmymcgill6778 If you actually listened you would know that's not what he said
@@antonioiniguez1615 He said wuss. Big deal. It's the same thing.
1:42 "I'm gonna throw in one other thing, I cannot tell this from this email. But, Jeff ask yourself if you're wining? Is your boss really the boss from hell, or are you the lame employee from hell? You just got the job, walk in the door, and they ask you to do some work? And you don't like that? Are you whining? It might not be true..."
Anyone can make themselves sound like a saint on a short, one-sided email. But we're not seeing the whole picture.
Pulling a gun out at a meeting, is a toxic boss, and toxic work environment.
Who pulled a gun?
@@douglasvamateurradioandmore Dave did.
@jimmymcgill6778 is there a reference on a store where I can look up ans verify?
@@douglasvamateurradioandmore A store?
It was reported on. Google it. He even said he did in a law suit, even after he said he didn't.
@@jimmymcgill6778 I have been looking as i have time. One article I found is from 2019.
Dave was offended by this because he identifies as the boss from hell himself!
Dave literally called his employee an IDIOT on worldwide broadcast for being right about something Dave was wrong about. Yeah great boss Dave is..
George was just as wrong as Dave.
@@amireallythatgrumpy6508This is about the 8% thing, right? Because no, George was unambiguously correct on that. There's a stronger argument for 4% not being conservative *enough* than for Dave's ludicrous 8% being viable. That will fail more often than not over a 30 year time horizon, and historically there have been years to retire where you wouldn't even make it to 10 years before fully depleting your nest egg (and many where 15-20 years will deplete it).
Nope he was not correct about that. Any withdrawal rate over 1% is incorrect and , quite frankly, a withdrawal rate above 1% is simply asinine. 4% is WRONG. So is 8%. @@justdonika4357
This is why I don't work. I stay home and rely on the Government to take care of me.
Ya people leave quickly these days because they have options... bosses and employers should realize that and learn to talk to and treat their employees like adults. That doesn't mean coddling them, it just means to respect them and not talk down to them and say it's "training"
Dave don't interrupt Ken when he speaks quit being a rude boomer
70% of the time a man loses his job a divorce is coming 40% of the time a man finds a job a divorce comes anyway. If Jeff thinks he's on eggshells now.
The wussification of America 😂😂😂very funny!!! ( I think that the male caller was probably afraid of his own angry outburst as a response to boss’s behavior as a reason of getting fired)😊
Makes no sense
caller said that he loved his job but his boss was a “boss from hell”. Dave said that maybe the boss was just asking too much and the caller was lazy or a wuss. I suspect that the boss was micromanaging him, and the caller was afraid of his own reaction to his boss’s behaviour as a reason for loosing his job. 😅
How about Dave address all the countless people who have left his company and spoken out about his toxic behaviors in the workplace, including threats of violence, sexist and racist behavior.
A narcissist never holds himself accountable for his actions.
Ok I had a similar situation where I just started the job and enjoyed it but my boss toxic, nothing we did pleased him. Sink and swim environment, zero training. He’d curse at us and especially the woman he was vulgar. You couldn’t tell HR because he was HR, CEO and the manager. It was a small engineering firm company. He was the Boss from Hell. Sorry Dave I’m not with you on this one. Only cause I did try to buckle up and man up as you said and tolerated it for almost two years till I quit. There’s so much mental abuse human can take till it’s time to quit. I suffered vulgarity, toxic behavior, used practically as a slave because of my ethnicity, doing jobs not in my job description, and thrown drawings at my face. I just had to quit.
Dave isn't accusing him of being a wuss he is simply saying he needs to ask if he is.
@@zachjones2346 Yeah but that's all Dave talked about.
@@suen5006 He made it clear he wasn't calling him a wuss
He is not yet out of work he DOES have time to find a good job, not just any job. And he should stop being stressed out. The worst that can happen - he is fired. Which is what he prepares for anyway. With some luck his boss gets fired before him and he can stay ;)
People don't want to be coddled, they just want to be treated with respect. Being sworn at is not being treated with respect.
Oh there’s some that do. I’ve had coworkers legit not work for weeks. And the bosses tried everything to get them to do their job but because work wouldn’t pay for their transportation to work independent of their pay they refused to even work remotely. Went on for months.
Now these bosses also treat my team like crap due to the coworkers complaining everything is so horrible…
Some awkward silences going on here 😂😂
If you want to quit every time your boss or co workers treat you not to your liking you will
not have a job, have no money to support your family
Develop a tough skin, and do battle.
If your boss talk to you in a disrespectful manner is toxic, it leads to bullying and it causes PTSD. And yes, they abuse then discard by firing you for no reason. Try remote work or open a biz.
I don't think Jeff is a wuss. It's pretty clear that he enjoys working so I don't think he has an entitled attitude. It sounds like he's good at what he does so he's probably had very good leadership and management in previous jobs to get to that point. I have a very good work ethic and don't ruffle feathers often so when I say that I've worked in unstable environments with toxic bosses, they were REALLY REALLY bad! I believe Jeff because I know 100% that bosses like his exist. His language says it all. Entitled people don't use the same language as Jeff.
Playing basketball in High School where you have your parents protecting you and coaches routinely yell, is much different than an adult with a job and having some boss on your back for no good reason.
Going though a period like that can be a great growth experience, but it is also not a sustainable state where you would want to find yourself in perpetuity. If I had a job like that, I’d be looking for a new one with all my available energy.
It is odd how we treat high school sports like life and death, but do NOTHING to educate and train our children on how to find and keep a job. One's life literally depends on having a job, but we don't treat job training with the same seriousness as a high school sports game, which at the end of the day means NOTHING.
They don’t yell or cuss but they pull out a gun in the middle of a staff meeting and call employees stupid.
Dave fights with guns? What a wuss. Real men use their bare hands.
That's what ALL American employers do.
Real men do not live in the USA@@robloxvids2233
Dave, in his entire life, has never been an employee.
And like all millionaires, he is an expert on something he has never been. He started his real estate empire with a $4 million loan from his parents.
Dave has never had a boss in his life.
He is an expert on the employer's side. There needed to be both an employer and an employee on this call. And there was.
@@amireallythatgrumpy6508 he was on the "boss" side of the desk age 21. How kind, to enlighten us on what it is like to have bils and a family and your boss calls you in and fires you. Thanks , dave for your your "experience".
How kind of you to explain to us all what a great manager you are.
Tell us all, from your $550 million empire of real estate. Started by your daddy's 4$ million loan , how we should deal with getting fired. How kind of you.
There’s a whole lot of wusses around these days, and a whole lot of crap managers. The thing about the crap managers is that weak leadership allows you to stand above the rest of the employees who have no direction and don’t do work. Learn more and be better and move up to your next position instead of getting dragged down by slackers
I've seen clueless dummies get fired. They dug the job but did nothing all day. Dumbfounded.
Sign there's a problem at work: everyone huddles together to smoke out of sight. People come and see you when you start and try hard to make friends with you. There's a "vibe". Totally have worked in horrible horrible situations where EVERYONE loathed the boss but they had mortgages and the work was very niche (training guide dogs for the blind) so the boss KNEW that there was ZERO chance of finding the same work within driving distance of their homes. The bastard said as much too.
Shit, the first thing I would do is fire you all for smoking.😂
Ken “yeah, I agree” Coleman. Never has an opinion of his own
The dude is slime. Definitely not who I want to get life advice from.
He’s Daves yes man
I walked off a job.
I worked as a Production Chemist.
There were 4 Chem Techs, one position open, one on vacation, two on 12 hour shifts.
The two had been on for 21 days straight, one made a mistake.
They were going to give him 2 days off without pay, (just what he had been asking for ???).
I was to work the tech's two 12-hour shifts, for no pay or time off!
I said, "You promised that I would be compensated"
They said, "We are breaking that promised"
I said, "good thing I cleared my office last night, send my last check to my last known address".
So they wanted you to work for free? Isn't that illegal
I feel like there's a lot you're leaving out from this story, e.g. were you a salaried employee and did you sign paperwork that stipulated that this could be a possibility?
@@soonerdave01 I questioned the salaried position and was told by 3 levels of supervision with HR, that I would be compensated in time or money.
I was leaving an Hourly Chemist position and was worried they would up my hours without compensation.
I took their word.
The quote was "we are reneging on our promise, what are you going to do?"
@@MrJimmy3459 I asked, if you want to punish the Chem Tech, then have him work for free.
That would be illegal since he is hourly and
protected by the FLSA.
I was salary and took their word.
I have to say that usually I agree there are jobs and houses for rent everywhere in any feild, but living in a small rural town with literally only one industry that pays barely enough for a living wage, has taught me that not everywhere has the ability to provide jobs and houses. It's a low cost of living area, but the closest town is an hour away and there aren't homes here and there aren't other jobs. If my husband took the exact same job in a larger town, closest one is 3 hours away, we wouldn't be able to afford to live anywhere near the town.
In 2016 I was in a toxic work environment, a real toxic work environment, and for 3 years I was afraid that I would get laid-off, and I could not quit because I already uprooted my family to move to our location (at the urging of my wife BTW). Quitting was not an option because I was the sole provider at the time, and it got so bad that one time by accident I caught my tech lead making fun of my accent to another colleague of mine. To this day they don't know that I overheard that conversation which happened in the beginning of 2018. Not only did I not get fired, I got awards, accommodations, an OK raise, and a hefty bonus in the beginning of 2019. You should definitely prepare for the worst, but a toxic work environment may end up improving as it did in my case, you just have to work hard, and "defeat" the person that is creating a toxic environment especially if you have dependents who you need to provide for.
I worked at a nerve agent destruction facility as a lethal entry technician, a REAL toxic work environment.🙃
I like how the wuss stopped talking
I’ve had bosses that made you constantly fear for your job. But that was just the culture of the company. You were never in danger of losing it.
Agreed! Some people are more affected by this type of negative emotion. It really doesn't have a place in business. Who wants to go into work each day thinking the boss will fire them? When I worked at a restaurant as an assistant manager back in 2010, my District Manager told me to my face; "If you say one more work, I'm going to fire you." In hind sight, I should have said F-off and quit. Instead he turned me into a better person than him. He ended up leaving the company about 2 months later. And because of the situation, I decided to go back to college and stepped down. Win-win :)
If the caller is lucky the manager is going to be fired first - and he is good.
Typical Dave with the name calling. And always thinks bosses are good, and they do no evil.
That tells you more about Dave.
I'm just here for the comments.
I think Dave jumped the gun. Maybe it is a bad boss.
I would always ask my boss “what can I do to make your job easier?” “What can I do better?” “What do you want to see more of, and what do you want to see less of?”
Much like sometimes an employer needs to sack an employee the reverse is also true.
Sounds like Jeff had other jobs before and this is the first time he's getting concerned about being fired. Sad that his email got turned into an example of the "wussification of America,"
1:42 "I'm gonna throw in one other thing, I cannot tell this from this email. But, Jeff ask yourself if you're wining? Is your boss really the boss from hell, or are you the lame employee from hell? You just got the job, walk in the door, and they ask you to do some work? And you don't like that? Are you whining? It might not be true..."
😂What's wrong with Dave asking the question? Seriously. You take everyone at face-value for their word?🤣 He's playing devil's advocate and warms it up with a look at it from the other side of the desk.
We don’t know the exact situation. Can’t really help him.
Dave is assuming a lot...
I would have appreciated more details in this situation however.
I know sheesh. He really goes off on the person without knowing anything and just assuming the worst about them. The boss could be sexist, racist, constantly harassing them, etc.
@@ghostbird92 He always assume the worst of everyone. And thinks you should be kissing the bosses ass.
my boss didnt hug me today :(
my co-worker says that she hates the job and procrastinates any task....she just wants to sit and read a book. She does the minimum of minimum.And complains that anything is expected of her. Very difficult to work with.
So I read the comment section and thought y’all were just being parasocial. But no. Dave is *hard* projecting. He just up and starts talking about how this dude’s boss is “not a narcissist” - as though narcissism was mentioned even once. 😂 Someone dial him back.
When was Dave Ramsey first podcast?
He's been doing this show since 1992.
Sit down and talk to them… maybe you don’t understand the scope of the job. Ask for clarification. By the way, I’m an HR specialist with a masters degree.
Agreed, talk to your boss. As an HR manager with a Bachelors in Management, HR, and Psychology; there is far more going on here. If the teem member is feeling this way, there is some sort of expectation that has not been communicated. It's coming from both parties, the employee and the supervisor. I've worked at jobs where people felt like they were going to be fired at any moment, and generally is comes down to poor communications or the general state of either the employee or manager.
Well how about advising the caller of the obvious - ask for a few minutes to sit down with your boss and talk about his/her expectations of you, and think about whether you are prepared to meet them. That advice would cut into Dave’s bragging time, I realize.
Why does Dave feel personally attacked?
His guilt is showing.
5:30 "Asking someone to work and correcting them if they don't do the work properly is not a toxic work environment. That's called training."
Tell that to my co-workers 😂
I have one who basically refuses to learn the till. When something comes up that she doesn't know how to do it, I have tried in the past to teach her. But she just walks off, every single time.
Now I don't bother, she's not my problem!
Something came up last week that she omits she always f@#* it up. I know how to do it, I've tried teaching her how to do it. But I just walked off. I'm not going to waste my time teaching someone who walks off and doesn't want to learn.
Usually owners are respected. They don’t to get where they without being tough, maybe a bit of a bastard. That’s fine with me. It’s the middle managers who, in my experience are the problem. Cheap suits and big egos. 👍🏼
Dave get's triggered because the caller is also looking for a new job because he thinks the manager is toxic. (and he thinks he could get fired, which may not be true).
Touchy subject Dave ?
See ya 😊
There's alot of lame a** bosses from hell in the world. I agree Dave, you sound like a Boss from Hell.
Email: i love the work and i get paid well.
Dave: you walk into work and don't like being asked to work.
Another Dave rant that has nothing to do with the original point.
Agree with Dave. When I was a kid and I would whine about the teacher he said "youthink you are going to like every boss you have? Figure out how to succeed no matter the obstacle. ". It served me well having just retired from the military last year. If he wants to quit then quit, but quitting can become a habit.
The email mentioned nothing about wanting to quit but having a boss he believes may want to fire him any day. Based off the email, he enjoys the work and likes the pay. Doesn't sound like someone wants to quit. Very well could be a situation that HR hired him, but the boss he reports to has a personal conflict/issue with Jeff. Some people are oil and water. Dave played 'jump to conclusions' and landed on Wussification of America tm.
@@MercuryRyzen yes, but Dave's point is sound. If the guy just started working their and all of the sudden things aren't going well, something changed. Sure you like the money, but now I need you to work harder to accomplish thing? Dave's playing devil's advocate, as he should, because there is very little info in the letter.
@leechburglights Ignore the fact he enjoys the work, which typically means a person puts forth effort. We both agree the letter doesn't contain much info. Unfortunately Dave went straight to the person reaching out is the problem. Not a balanced discussion that it could be him, the boss, or a personality conflict that has little to nothing to do with his work quality or effort.
Again, Dave played jump to conclusions... Might have something to do with Dave being a boss with 1100 employees, perhaps causing a defensive reaction. Boss can't be the problem, must be the employee.
All that said, Dave could be right. More likely, he just heaped a pile of crap on the guy who is/was a loyal listener and may very well have his priorities in order. He's concerned about his ability to provide for his family. He came to Dave for advice and was told he's the problem. More context could have helped, but the questioner probably didn't think he needed to roll out a laundry list of why the boss is 'bad', he was asking how he should proceed in protecting his job and family, steps to take.
The truth hurts
The knew the second that guy brought up a bad boss . Dave would jump all over him . He himself must do some of that .
Yes, he's the lame employee. Doesn't want to work, there just to collect paycheck.
what on earth is up with the sudden accusatory comments about dave??
Dave is definetly the boss from hell.
So you'd be weeded out if you're a bad employee
Dave strikes me as one of those awful bosses. His ex employees have confirmed it
yeah, you can tell he's a dick by the way he talks to callers.
Any organization of his size will have disgruntled employees. What's the Ramsey solution turnover rate? That tells us a lot. My guess is it is below industry average.
Found the wuss
@semosancus5506 I'm definitely curious as to why the personalities change so frequently though. It seems like every 1-2 years there's a different set of cohosts 🤔
depending on the ex employees. I have seen a few of them but most of them went their own way(usually to do their own social media) and still promote dave.
Trust me Dave you have terrible bosses out there. Wait until you feel like every day is going to be your last day at work. Toxic work environments will destroy you
I worked in a restaurant as an assistant manager for about 8 months. Ended up joining the Army National Guard 😂 because the place was awful. My GM said to me, "Man you must hate this job if you've decided to join the Army." 🤣You're damn right I did. When I returned after 6 months of training, I was divided up to work at 3 different locations before given a permanent home store location. It was horrible!😂 was told by my District manager that if I "😡say one more word and you'll have no job." I bit my lip then decided it was time to go back to college. Worst best thing to happen back in 2010. From September though December when someone asked me how I was doing and I was having a bad day, I would respond with; "I'm alright.. But! I'll be better in January 😉". 2 months of this and my GM started asking me, "What's going on in January?" 🤣😂 I said... it will be an amazing new year where WE ALL can start over! He told me, " 😠you can't say that to the employees!" 😁 Then on January 1, after getting the crappiest holiday schedule manager could receive during the holidays, I put my notice in... Said "I'm going back to college!" And started January 17, 2021. It's now 14 years later, I run my own business and own 3 companies 😂 and I'm not an toxic boss.
You are assuming a LOT Dave. Ken's face says it all.
What an awful take. Dave has officially lost his marbles.
He should have a boss like my First Seargent in the Army. I learned from him the word " mother" was half of a compound word.
My 1st lol of the day.And thank you for your service.
I had a boss on a daily basis one minute she was yelling at you another she was sweet everyone was walking on eggshells just for doing our jobs i wasnt going to deal with a bi-polar u knoe what
Why do you need to kill stuff at Ramsey? Are you guys butchers?
You don't know what happened Dave so I think your comment was a bit harsh imo
A boss should be a leader…period. I’ve found a majority of managers should not be in those positions. They cannot lead their department because they have no idea what their people do. They think just telling someone “go do it” is being a leader. A leader inspires those that work for them to work harder because they RESPECT them. That’s why people are “quiet quitting” they have awful bosses who are there either due to checking boxes or nepotism.
Dave immediately grabbed onto the possibility of this dude being soft. I find this way too common these days. I am 45 and things have dramatically changed even in the last 25+ years.
People want pats on the back, kudos, etc. all the time. Just do your damn job, and do it better than anyone else. You'll never, ever worry about losing a job. Also, carrying any debt immediately removes any and all leverage you have. You should always have things at the ready at all times: 1) an updated resume, 2) no debt, 3) 12-months minimum liquid cash, 4) an active network on LinkedIn, and 5) Recruiters and former colleagues should be put on notice that you are looking for better opportunities. This guy has some real work to do on himself, it seems. You need to be prepared for anything at all times.
💯this comment above. Workers today under 32 are soft & undisciplined. 👊💡🔥
Finally, some actual men that actually have a clue how one is supposed to function
@@kenonsavage "actual men" 😂
@@ccsmith2937lol sure bro
Translation: "as boss I can treat you like s%$&". NOPE. I'm gone.. too bad for you.
I worked for the nastiest boss on the face of the earth for 13 years
Same here. Still working in the same TOXIC environment, going on 14 years
I decided to be a one trick pony when I was working. As a result I had to move twice to keep my career doing something that I liked and which paid a decent salary. You either move to where the work is or switch careers to something related.
Gotta just find another job! You are replaceable!!
I'm pausing this video to write this - was I whinnying at my last job because I didn't like my boss - no - EVERY DAY - I'd hear - I'm gonna fire you! I couldn't do anything right. My co worker "got sick" for like a month did I get any help where I was no! I had to run my job and his - "you are not working fast enough" then it was "why are you working so much overtime?" He got rid of a lot of good people because they stood up to him - he promoted his "kiss ups".
Sounds like a narcissist. They make the WORST bosses!
“People quit too soon because they want to be coddled!” PREACH!
I've had a difficult boss when I was younger and I really didn't care because I did my job well. Most companies care more about productivity than people's personal feelings. This sounds more in their head than something written down. They been late multiple times? Made too many mistakes? If you're the most productive and quality employee assisting with completion of initiatives, and you randomly get canned, your boss has to explain that to their boss. Some people are their own worst enemies. I'm leaning towards Dave.
Yep, people expect high paying dream jobs to be stress free and when they find out it's the opposite its all of a sudden a toxic environment.
I love how employees have to work as hard or harder than the owner of the company as they get paid less than they are worth. Employees must be paid less than they are worth for a business to run.
No Dave, he's not being a wuss. Workplace bullying ends up giving people cancer or burnout or both. As cancer is an auto-immune disease and prolonged stress damages the immune system, an arsehole boss is literally bad for your health.
wussification
Unlike you, I send pregnant employees on maternity leave…
