I was once working in a fast-paced office in the media industry where a lot was at stake for our customers, our vendors, and the company itself. The owner of the company was very old, very gruff, and had the shortest temper I've ever seen.

One afternoon, he raged at a senior coworker for a minor misunderstanding regarding a superficial customer appreciation gesture that was not only superfluous, but easily corrected. My coworker remained calm, and promised to update his procedure.

A nearby department head stepped in and vouched for the employee, and the situation was diffused. However, the coworker took an early lunch, and came back with red eyes and a puffy, flushed face. I didn't know what to do, so I just proceeded about my day as if I didn't notice...

I regret not commiserating with him, but we really weren't very close, and he was very formal. I didn't want to embarrass them.

So, fellow Jobcasers, what would you have done?

I think consistency is the key to a personal brand in the workplace. Trust, reliability, and even general favor are all tied to consistency.

You were lucky. You just got transferred. The same thing happened to me but it lead to a termination for me. Although they wouldn't admit it l know it was for complaining about discrimination.

I always negotiate job offers and have always gotten what I asked for. My only regret is not shooting higher.

I had a job interview with a employer and job was starting out at $25 an hr and I gave the company my start date after he told me I had the job. 1 week went by I called employer and told him I couldn't take the job because of the pay. He came back and offered me $5.00 more dollars on the hr and of course I accepted and started a week later

Quality employees make the business the business doesn't make the people. The more you learn the better you are at any job.
