No Yelling
“Had an old boss who was a complete and total jerk. He was actually my boss’ boss, and wasn’t supposed to interact with us, but he just loved trying to make everyone under him squirm. One day, I get a call at home from him and he just starts unloading.
After a couple of minutes, I just looked at my phone and hung up on him. The next day, I get called into a meeting with his boss, who basically wants to know who the heck I think I am hanging up on this guy. I calmly explain that no one gets to yell at me on my time, in my home, on my phone.
You have to wait for me to be on the clock to pay me for that privilege, and I’ll gladly take that money- If I’m busy being yelled at, I’m not busy with anything else. Seemed to work.” Story credit: Reddit / blind30
