It is never good to have the boss mad about anything. When I worked in my fctory job before I retired I had a boss who was always going off on someone. One day it was my turn. I was in the welding shop in he comes all red in the face. He starts in on my about something. After about 30 seconds he looks at his shoe which is smoking. He was standing on a red hot piece of metal I had just cut off. He grabs his shoe off, and starts in about his new shoe being ruined and walkes off with one shoe on, and one shoe off. Every one in the shop got a good laugh out of that. He never finished chewing me out. He was really a good boss he just had a problem of instant rage about nothing. Stan
 
Had a boss once that was hard on the ladies in his dept. When I transferred in (my former position was eliminated in a downsizing or I never would have transferred) one of the other ladies warned me. She told me he would give you a hard time until he made you cry, then he'd leave you alone.

He never brought me to tears. He tried, but I made sure I kept my cool. Transferred to another dept. as soon as I could. He was a real jerk.
 
a ball pein hammer between the eyes can cure "instant rage". I know that for a fact. The meanest SOB I ever knew in life turned out to be the sweetest guy you ever met through such therapy.
 
Had a contractor's boss who would, in a fit of rage, throw his hat down and stomp it. One day I ran over and helped him stomp on it. He never did it again. He was actually a pretty good guy until something went wrong, and then he'd go nuts. You can waste a lot of energy and accomplish nothing with a mad fit.

In reply to Nancy's story - I remember my dad saying, "Give a man a little authority, and he'll show you how much class he has".

As underground miners we all wore hard hats with a bracket on the front that held our battery light headpiece. One supervisor I had would hold the light in his hand while walking in the tunnels to look around. Being very hot tempered, when he got angry about something, he would take off his hard hat and throw it down the tunnel amidst a lot of screaming and yelling.One day when he did that, he still had his light on his hat and when he threw it, the light came off, swung around his head and smacked him PRETTY HARD on the mouth. He lost 2 teeth and split his lips badly.Sure mellowed out after that
 
Funny how the Amish kids never throw a hissy fit.

None of the kids in my family had that problem either. Seems my parents cured that issue from day one. Nowdays that would be called child abuse, but ya can't argue with sucsess.
 
I had a high school coach that would blow up like that every so often, really rather frequently. I played for the fun of the game (1960s when that was still done) and he was all about winning at any cost so I often received his wrath.

Anyway it turns out he had an underlying health problem that was causing at least part of it and by age 50 something was in a nursing home and didn't live all that long.

Diseases of the brain can affect more than those with the illness. The family often suffers the worst.
 
when I was running a rig on a river boring rig we had a man on the ground crew who would throw his hard hat. He had just got out of prison and everyone walked easy around him, but I would kid him. When he would cloud up I would say throw your hard hat and then he wouldn't do it. He finally wrangled a job as inspector on the night shift and was coming in as I was leaving. I said where is your hard hat and he said don.t need it I,m an inspector. I said what are you gonna throw and he just smiled and drove on.
