I’ve been getting calls from East Coast subcontractors having some pains. After talking to them, I’d rate the majority of their pain at a five on a scale of one to 10. In other words, their pain level is increasing, but they’re reaching out before the pain reaches eight, nine or 10. How does an employer or manger feel and act when his or her pain level is running high: controlling, depressed, angry, or distant?
How do employees feel when working for someone whose pain level is between an eight or 10? Do they feel confused, in doubt, frustrated, or defensive?
