Was at work yesterday and witnessed a 5 minute fight between my boss and his father.
A few of the circumstances, his Father lives at home with him, wife and new baby,....one of his staff members has just gone off with a bad back for 3 weeks, his dad's about to go on holiday for a week, and his wife's about to return to work leaving his father who is 67 btw to look afetr the baby 4 days a week. (his father feels taken for granted and blew up when boss accused him of damaging a lance for hosepipe)....There was a lot of hard hitting, abusive language and I think someone has got some hellish bruises..
As some of you may know I do enjoy my job in landscape gardening, but I do think my boss has too much on and is under stress, hence refusal to get me new boots, work trousers and keeping my pay the same in 2 years......Dh thinks I should quit...I do feel he may be right.......as never in my working history have a witnessed such anger and nastiness between 2 members of the same family ffs...perhaps I am out of order for venting this out on computer but I really wondered if it is right for me to feel uncomfortable and justified in finding another job asap (btw he also clicked his fingers just before brawl and when I said you can't talk to someone like that he said I haven't got time to f--- about....Long I know...thanks for reading this far any thoughts at all appreciated
