Toxic Supervisor

Over the weekend having heard the bragging of a hospital financial administrator, it reinforced my belief that it takes more than an MBA to make a good supervisor. Her comments about firing people who didn’t do what she wanted, were nothing short of shocking. If a company, did things right, they probably spent lots of time and money seeking out the best talent to work for them. Terminating an employee may be how a medieval monarch would handle the situation, but firing someone should always be considered a last resort. It is not good to have a manager with such little regard for people and assets. Perhaps she was just bragging about her “power,” but I know from having a long and varied work history, that nothing will send me into a full-on job search, like an immature or mean-spirited supervisor.
