Losing Your Cool @ Work?

Subject: Losing Your Cool @ Work? Tue 09 Jul 2013, 3:50 pm

Has there ever been an instance where you had to deal with someone and tried your damnest not to blow up at them?
---
Since starting my job, I've had three instances (all within the past two weeks,) where my superiors have have to advise me about my temper dealing with guests - including today (I'm currently on lunch break.)

So...?

tried and failed.

I went off on someone at my last job. she was a bitch. I laughed my ass off when she got fired...why? For stealing chicken and taking it home.

I've also had mental breakdowns and cried at work.

I go off on co-workers constantly. I don't go off on customers because, I don't want to lose my job. I've never been given a warning about my temper, however, some co-workers have often told me that I can be scary when I go off. It's so simple to get me mad though, so that's why I warn everyone when I meet them to not take anything I say personally. hehe

I have once. I had a supervisor that had a God complex and didn't know her head from a hole in the ground as far as how our business ran. After her coaching me numerous times on what she felt I was doing wrong, I snapped and yelled at her. I didn't get in serious trouble, but she laid off of me for a while.

I wish I had more drama in real life. I've never had issues with any of my students in a way that would make me mad.

Sometimes they've disappointed me, but I've never been angry with any of them.

You are a teacher?

I used to teach Public Speaking at my local university, but I was no longer eligible once I graduated.

While looking for an actual job, I've been tutoring public school students. The pay is better, but I'd much prefer a real job with less pay. My passion is Public Relations and Crisis Communication, but there just isn't much opportunity for that where I live. It's disappointing, because I wanted to save up $ before I went elsewhere for a career.

The ever-articulate Serial. He's a supporter. He's a realist. Cool dude.

Thanks, I guess.

I've never thought of you as someone who would get angry at anyone. I know it's just a forum, but you've never been a drama-heavy person, and I've always seen you as a laid-back personality.

If someone got you angry, then they probably did something to deserve it.

I've been known for my temper irl; but I am generally a chillaxed dude.

That's currently what is keeping me from having a job. I failed my first drug test at wal mart a few years ago and I got into an argument with the manager for not giving me another chance. I pretty much told him that you can slowly kill yourself with cigarettes while on job but I can't smoke a little bit of weed while I'm at home relaxing. So I got fired for the drug test & the argument was just me expressing my anger towards his decision... Now every time I go for a job interview, I have to bring that up if not they will eventually find out and I'll get shit canned anyway... it sucks but I gotta deal with it. #LIVINGINASMALLHICKTOWNPROBLEMS

Most recent one: I got in an argument with one parent for cursing and using a homophobic slur because his son dared to *gasp* put on kilt while playing Brave with the other kids.
