I was the exact opposite kind of boss and got great results.
“I don’t care why I care how often”
At least I would get advanced notice when people weren’t afraid to call me.
Also when I called around to fill shifts I wouldn’t guilt trip people “can you cover for bill? No? Okay thanks for answering “
The other bosses would call me to call their employees because they would answer me. One of my favorites was calling another boss and saying “Claire’s going to come in”. “What? She told me she couldn’t make it!!!”
“If I were you I wouldn’t mention that when she comes in. Just be happy the shift is filled”
Respect goes both ways at work. I got more work out of my team than anybody because I had their back as much as they had mine.
