Have a sneaking suspicion that either it was my manager that was making the threats and just saying they were from the boss or something'll be said near payday.
PS. found out today in the pub someone got sacked this week. we're only a small company, there's a very high staff turnover and when people come and go there are no introductions or good byes  Bothers me a little. |
Probably much like any other small company, you are dealing with a true personality and probably somebody who views it as coming directly out of his pocket, big fish in a small pond so to speak. In a bigger company it's a professional person who needs to do his job, but it's not his money and he's not going to take it personally, and he may have to answer questions to his boss and/or HR if he upsets you without good reason, so if he gets angry he has to hide it more.
It may be that the boss was having a fit yesterday, but now he has calmed down, just like an argument with his wife. Unprofessional, but hey, small companies can be like that. He'd probably be a bigger company and more successful if he treated his staff with respect and learned how to kerb his high staff turnover!
I don't think you'll hear anything more about it and don't think they'll deduct from salary, if he's calmed down he'll never bother writing the email instructing payroll to do so. If they do it without speaking to you about it, kick up a stink.
Sounds like you just need to keep your eyes open on IT recruitment websites TBH.
