This one speaks for itself.
I will say that I used to work for a boss that loved to yell. He actually did have a mustache.
I tried a voodoo doll, but that never helped.
Business Karma came back on him though. I'm not happy that it did, but I'm not upset that it did either. 🙂

If you enjoyed this post then you will probably like this one too:
- Be One With Your Work (it's a cartoon too. bad image scan, but still enjoyable.)
When I worked in corporate I became a yeller - and while I didn't have a mustache, I did look ugly. It took a long time to get over the embarrassment of it.
I love your cartoons! They are great.
Isn't that always the case, Karl? What we give out, we get back. Oye!
Hope your day is filled with all good things!
OMG, I love this one!
Great one Karl!
I actually never worked with anyone who yelled, and have never been a yeller myself. I did have some experience with my parents yelling... at us sometimes...don't know why we were such angels... but anyway, it is so true, it definitely does not bring out the best in anyone.
Oh, I do love this one. And it's true: a yelling "mustache" looks so gross. Even after twenty years, I remember the last one...
Thank you for these great posts, Karl.
Hi Karl,
Ain't that the truth! I often see people get angry and I swear these look like mad hogs. It is very sad to observe but somewhat a funny reminder to not do the same thing.
And thank goodness for business karma! 🙂
Hi Stacey, I catch myself yelling at my dog and I hate how I feel. I'm working on being stern, but not aggressive.
Hi Megan, Yep, that's why we always need to work with our emotions. If we let them take over, we lose control of our happiness.
Hi Positively Present, Thank you.
Hi Evita, My parents yelled too. I have to make sure not to do this when my little boy needs discipline.
Hi Lynda, I never forgot the look on my boss's face. Truly ugly.
Hi Nadia, Mad hogs. he he.
I am smiling............
Thanks God my angry...I mean ugly days were left behind a long time ago.
Hi Karl,
I got a huge chuckle out of this post. I had a boss who would hiss rather than yell (the effect on the psyche is just as devastating), and with the narrowed eyes and thin mouth, I just kept thinking of a particularly venomous snake--one that preferred to strike and bite when a person's back was turned.
Yup, one's karma (business and personal) will eventually come calling with it's delivery (feedback on earlier actions or inactions), whether or not you actually recalling placing the order! It's good to remember that not everything bad that happens is karmic payback or punishment--sometimes it's about repeating a pattern or lesson until we "get it" and then move on.
Keep those fun drawings coming--they say so much!
I guess it's better to sing than yell so you can unleash your best mustache? (barbershop quartet style)
