Yelling At Workers Creates Perfection

It's just a form of encouragement.

Susur Lee, a famous Toronto chef, doesn't yell at his employees. He just stands quietly beside his manager, Greg Ali, while he does the dirty work. Both claim that

yelling is "part of the culture" of the restaurant industry, and that if Ali screams louder, it's because standards are that much higher. "Good things take time and we need hard work in order to achieve this." Ali also says yelling is an everyday restaurant occurrence, but it isn't personal or racist.

Animal Comment: They yell at you in aerobics class, don't they? And what about those guys who yell, "Stroke!" at the back of those boats?

Animal,

You should join my Facebook Fast and help me in supporting the recruiting community's ability to use FB without:

a) fear of being banned (while though they selectively un-ban others who "violate their TOS"

and

b) fear of having our private communications with candidates (and each other) being made available to any employee of Facebook because the company doesn't feel that it is necessary to limit access to user accounts and data like everyone else (Yahoo, Google, MySpace, Microsoft, etc.)

I posted about this a few days back, first about my 'Facebook Fast' and then about 'Why I Stopped Using Facebook' over on Jobmatchbox.com.
