When you screw up at work, do you get ripped apart in the national media?

Do you get fired if you produce one widget that isn't to exact tolerance specifications?

Most importantly - are you in a job that is hemorraging respect already, and your boss says something to bring the level of respect even further down?



Dick Bavetta had a great one in his NBA game the other night. No call, player is ticked, says to the broadcaster (while going into the lockers at the half) that the refs have been calling like the end product of bovine males. Player comes out, apologizes, and starts talking about respect for the players and the game. Bavetta stops him and just says "How about you get some respect for what I'm doing out here?"

Priceless ----- just priceless.
