I worked for as a department manager for a rather unpleasant supervisor once. He wanted me out of the way to get his buddy in place. I however did a great job and no matter what he threw at me I handled it and kept on going. One day he was tired of giving me a hard time and frustrated by a lack of success in running me off. He came over and told me " You know Larry there is a bigger department open at another store!". I looked him in the eye and smiled and said " no thanks I like it here". I could see his spirit break. Of course I do not believe I would handle it that way today as the Lord has been teaching me not to be such a knuckle head but I still chuckle when I think of it.
