Georgia Doctor Declares War on Employees

This is hilarious. Talk about class warfare.

WSAV.com
Dr. Karen Kim, the Pooler Pediatricts doctor who wrote a memo that went out to staff on Wednesday morning, declaring war on her employees, "Since slackers have declared war on me by electing evil incarnate as president and guaranteeing that our business will never again expand, I will respond by declaring my own war on slackers..." (you can read the first letter by clicking here) has resigned.


I've taken several classes on management, but they neglected to discuss the advantages and disadvantages of declaring war on your employees.

It reminds me of a restaurant job I had in college. One day, the Italian owner called us all into a special meeting. We sat around a round table, looking downwards. He silently glared at us for ten minutes. Then he suddenly banged his fists on the table and screamed, "WORKING WITH YOU PEOPLE I TELL YOU IS A NIGHTMARE! A NIIIIIGHHTMAAAARE!"

Morale failed to improve after the meeting.
