Walking The Line Between Being A Tyrant and Pushover Boss
There’s casual and there’s disrespectful
It’s alright to have a casual, laid-back vibe in the work place. It’s alright if you want to let people joke around a bit, and even use curse words (just not in front of clients and customers). But know there is a difference between employees being casual and being disrespectful. If they take a rude tone with you, you can tell them that is not okay. It’s important that they also know there’s a line—no matter how cool of a boss you are. Also know that if you’re going to draw that line, you can’t fully be friends with your employees.
