Though I'm sure even those that are longer in the tooth can suffer some form of abuse in the workplace, in my experience it's less acute. My personal approach to handling "difficult" relationships at work has always been more karmic (no, I’m not a hippy!) but if I believe that those deserving bad fortune will get it at some point, I feel less stressed and more able to handle the daily grind.

These were primarily law firms, and are one reason I left that field post haste. My current boss doesn't know what it is like to be on my side of the desk. But I know I can tell him straight when he's out of line. And I do. But thankfully I don't have to very often. I think that all bosses should be reminded to treat their people the way they would want to be treated, were roles reversed. If you adopt that mindset, you'll never abuse anyone.

As long as you have a clear strategy, supported with well grounded arguments you should be ok. Sometimes you have to make unpopular decisions.

You have to take ownership of your business to be successful. And if you want to take your small business to the next level, you have to take some risks, go off of the beaten path. I agree.

Here I was, the lowly intern, delivering packages and images to clients, and I was offered water, coffee, and pleasant conversation. Now that I live in Utah, I have never experienced anything remotely like it. Full of unprofessional, inexperienced religious fanatics. Being professional and kind to customers and employees goes a long way. When I interning in New York, I can’t believe how nice I was treated when i interacted with other businesses and professionals.
