Ive actually seen many (once successful at the start) businesses collapse all because the owner/bosses/managers etc were not good at communicating their ideas, how they felt, their concerns and issues, etc. None of them were good at it, so they just didnt try. The employees became frustrated quickly and said it was like you were expected each day to read your bosses mind or he'd act p'd off at you. I know what they mean, but at least when I was experiencing that my boss was most likely having a bad day, bad half a day, bad hour, whatever.....if I had to have a boss or work for a company owned by someone who not only expected me to be psychic but got easily angered when I could not be, that would suck! But thats been a problem at offices before especially office jobs, and also even worse in the field of telemarketing. Lately, alot of people in the small town Im from have been complaining about the phone company AT&T's support line which they all work at, if a user of an AT&T phone has a problem or question with the product their calls come right here to the call center, where one of the workers helps them through what to do. Imagine trying to do that job, with an annoyed customer whose IPhone wont function correctly on the other line, when you have a boss or someone above you professionally who not only fails to but refuses to try and communicate clearly or at all. The only MIND READING I can do is this: I would for sure lose my mind tolerating a job like that within just 2-4 weeks, and Ive worked at some hard impossible places meanwhile while working a second side job as well at the UPS AIRHUB loading airplanes at the Intl City Airport....it was the USA's only Airhub for UPS and it was so busy each shift. Crazy busy sorting, scanning and loading the planes. Yet at least it was too loud to talk there so there was no need for communication as there is with office type jobs (haha) and such, other than the occasional hand gesture from across the way to another line. I miss that place at times!!

P.S. One more thing- that I was supposed to add to your photos post about the NUVO Sparkling Liqueur pic (smile)....did you know they have released a new flavor and are about to release 2 other new ones also? The bright pink served over ice is the original, the one I have had and was talking about earlier. Now they have a bright yellow that comes in the same three sizes (200 up to 750 mL) as the pink does only its called Lemon Sorbet. Its supposed to be great, Ive heard some good things and will see when I get back to the city if there is any at the store. The other 2 flavors coming anytime now are, get this, Peach Cobbler and then also RED VELVET CAKE!! Now that sounds just great, red velvet cake yes! Thats one Im actually waiting to just try even if it doesnt end up being a favorite, its a gotta give a shot, for sure!!
