James Butler is the owner of a septic tank service has a You Tube channel. He talks about the challenges of being a small business owner and is a fantastic motivational speaker. James speaks often about how "anger makes you stupid." He has a recent video which demonstrated this concept, once again. A new employee was displaying anger issues and James tried to talk with him about it. The new hire got upset, felt James was calling him "stupid" and quit. So...since a job opening was created, James picked up the phone and called the candidate who had been second in line for the position and offered him the job. #2 choice said he'd be there in 20 minutes...and was. The now ex-employee called James at 11:30pm that night, apologized and said he realized that James was telling him he was only "temporarily stupid" when he was angry and asked if he could have his job back. James told him "no." Anger makes you stupid, makes you do stupid things and there are consequences.
