Do you approach all of your employees the same way? Do you talk to them all the same way? On my job,I have a bottom line I won't go pass,and my wife knows it. The reason I'm saying this is I never forget who, and what I am. I don't have a chip on my shoulder, or anything like that. But there is a lot of white behavior I just don't engage in because I know me. Now you may approach Ol billy bob in a loud voice, chiding him on the spot. That's not me, and I and my boss have talked about this. If you were my boss,I feel we would have problems because of who, and what we are. Nothing personal,I'm sure you are a good boss. I'm just speaking from experience when one of us is top dog.
Peace!
