Ramsey acts like an asshole, but he does care. If he talked to me like that, I would resist the urge to plant him like a tomato. I have been a boss like that. I have had bosses like that. Maybe an asshole that really cares is better than a corporate pink slip.
I have exceeded "correctness" in dealing with employees. I have had a couple complain. When push came to shove, they always admitted that they had never been treated better.
It's something employers forget. It is very expensive to train employees. If you have to kick someone in the ass.... all good. I have been kicked and kicked.
Like Ramsey, I did care. There is damn little in life better than making people successful. It's a contagion we all benefit from.
I always figured that my success is based on any success of people around me. I have been accused of being "generous, almost to a fault" and of being "arrogant".
I did bring a dozen maple bars and some coffee. Fault noted.
