Trying to figure out if there is diamond in the rough.

I honestly don’t know if it’s just me but my manager always seems angry and hostile. He shows absolutely no respect to his peers or those who report to him. I can deal with his arrogance, but everything else including his attitude makes me grit my... — read more
