Jerk Bosses Die Younger
A new report confirms what we have always thought about those annoying perfectionist bosses - no one that uptight can live long. The study by Trinity Western University in Canada found that perfectionists have a 51% increased risk of death.
How many of us have worked for one of these nut cases? I think we all have at some point and the experience is miserable.
At our law firm, we get calls almost every day from someone suffering a "Martha Stewart" like boss. These perfectionist bosses usually lack patience and often fire at will. Stunned and feeling abused, the fired employees look for answers from the law. So when the fired workers call us, they want to know about their employee rights. Bottom line is they want justice.
Sadly, it is not illegal to be a jerk at work. It is perfectly legal to be fired for an unfair reason or even no reason. But even though we cannot sue these rotten souls, they will not get away with it. Karma will get them (we hope).
