Mom! No!

By Mnnn - 18/07/2023 18:00

Today, I angrily scolded one of my employees for making an avoidable mistake for the third time. Unfortunately, my mother decided to pay me a surprise visit, and arrived mid-rant. She chewed me out for being mean and made me apologize. Now everyone at work calls me "mama's boy" and nobody takes me seriously. FML

It does sound like you are a mama's boy. Maybe she would be a better manager than you. FYL

That’s when you say, “Mom, now is not the time,” and continue giving the worthless employee what they deserve.

Unless Mom owns the business, how can you manage employees if you cannot manage your relationship with Mom? That’s why you are getting no respect… If Mom owns the business, then you are screwed as long as you work for Mom.

well for 1 there should have been no discipline occuring in front of others. that is to be taken to a private room. and for 2 if you actually listened to your mother then you are a mama's boy. you're presumably a grown ass adult she didn't "make" you do anything

I don’t know when we became soft in our society. We need to return to employee discipline being public and scathing.

That's an idiotic idea and you should be ashamed of yourself for advocating for it.
