For one of my own stories, back in 1980, I worked at a well known hardware/sports store. I worked for 3 months, and got a rave review. At 5 months, I made a mistake with a customer, and made them wait for an extra 20 minutes, while I searched the warehouse for what they wanted. They complained, and I got a warning to shape up by the time of the 6 month review. My supervisor monitored me for the next month, and I turned in a superior performance. At the 6 month review, my supervisor told me that when we met with the store manager, that he would give me a glowing review, and I had nothing to worry about.

This was what happened, but then when he finished speaking, the store manager proceeded to tell me that I was a hopeless case, and a bad employee. (and other statements just as insulting) As it was Christmas in two weeks, I could work till then, but then I would be finished. I left that day, and never went back I was so furious. He lied, and also shamed my supervisor. It took me a long time to get over it. He told me that he doubted if I could ever be a manager.

I've since learned that I'm a great manager, and I think part of it is that I've never forgotten that experience and what a horrible manager is really like!
