It can really tear us apart to have some rip into us like that...especially infront of our peers! Been there, done that. My advice would be to have you husband really focus on what his successes are. The only person that can make you feel a certain way is you...unless you give them permission to! Running a call center would be a hard way to make a living! Is that what he went to school to do? What is his options for a different, less stressful job?

yeah, that's what i'm telling him too. but he still can't accept what his TL said to him. maybe it's her style to manage her team but it's really offended. well, we are thinking to continue and focused to our family business. but not yet final.we really need his job right now.thanks for your response.:)

One finest word shape to his ear when he shot out an idea (to resign or etc), "(Honey) I trust what you decide the best for us" Good luck, you will see how powerful this word to you and especially the change inside him. PS: Must in correct timing.

I think it really takes a special kind of person to work in sales and not everyone can do it. Working in this kind of enviroment can really rot your soul. Generally the kind of people in management in these places are not nice people and this is how they got to the top. The turnover of staff in these places are very high due to the attitudes they are treated with and for that reason no general member of staff is treated with respect. I honestly must say, get him out of that job while you can cos it really could hurt him in the long run. I know you have asked him to just ignore the team leader but when someone is speaking to you with so little respect then this is impossible. I hope he can actively seek out other employment and be sucesful so that he can leave asap.
