    Love this post, Vincent! I couldn’t agree with you more – especially the part about other employees perceiving this devastating behavior by management.

    I’ve shared your video with my readers in my weekly Rainmaker ‘Fab Five’ blog picks of the week (found here: http://www.maximizepossibility.com/employee_retention/2010/01/the-rainmaker-fab-five-blog-picks-of-the-week-1.html)to help encourage them to change the squeaky wheels on their team.

    Keep the good stuff coming!
