Pearl only worked for me for a few
months. She was a good
worker, but strictly on her own terms.
 |
She
was in her sixties and forced to do housekeeping to earn a living—something
that engendered a lot of anger in her, especially toward the people she worked
for, unless they continually placated her and sympathized with her plight.
Pearl
was delighted when I hired Quinton, and she immediately took him under her
wing. She babied him and rolled her eyes in disgust at me whenever I asked him
to take on a difficult task. She began telling me how to treat Quinton, and
pretty soon her advice smacked of telling me how I should run my business. She
constantly reminded me of the things I was doing she didn’t like; she rolled
her eyes, made faces at me, came to work late, ate food while she was working,
and sometimes refused to answer me. It soon created so many problems that I had
to let her go.
