Antiwork

My boss lost his temper with a coworker today because he had some other issues and was taking it out on her. I told my boss in mid conversation that we should take a minute to breathe and calm down and he turned to me (he does this many times and it usually makes everyone laugh) “you shush.” And I finally stood up to him and said “don’t tell me to be quiet, I’m trying to help you.” And he said “you’re making it worse so just stop.” This was over a very small event we are making to say goodbye to an employee that he wanted to throw.
