Extreme Makeover: Adjusting Your Personality

Almost every person I know has a nightmare story about someone they used to work for. For my dad, it was an office manager who screamed swear words every time an employee had a problem. For me, it was a pushy restaurant owner who never let me take a day off--even for family vacation. For my close friend, it was a factory foreman who never arrived to work on time. All of these stories are a little different, but they have one thing in common: None of us work for these pushy managers anymore.
