# 24: Angry male boss
Work bit 1: Does your male boss often look angry? Researchers at the University of Melbourne in Australia have shown that men are acutely sensitive to the anger of other men. So it seems that if a male wants attention, he should get angry.
Work bit 2: White-collar workers are more likely to be laid off nowadays. But they are also likely to get rehired. Unemployment among college graduates is just over 2%.
Work bit 3: Akio Morita, the founder of Sony, once said: “If we face a recession, we should not lay off employees; the company should sacrifice a profit. It is management's risk and management's responsibility. Employees are not guilty; why should they suffer?”
Work bit 4: But suffer they do, which reminds me of a Polish proverb: Under capitalism man exploits man; under socialism the reverse is true.
