This weekly podcast comes to you from Veritas Psychology Partners, Dr. Dan Kessler and Dr. Gayle MacBride. Your host selects a conversation from the internet forums that neither psychology has heard or read before, and they give their unrehearsed, unvarnished opinions--essentially answering the question, "just who is the a**hole here?" The host brings in feedback from internet commentors to round out the discussion, and we close out each episode with a bonus conversation about any number of things! Stay tuned through the end to find out!

In this episode, the question is: "Am I the a**hole for wanting to fire a high performing employee just because of their bad attitude?"

Today Gayle and Dan mentioned a couple things, including:

• cockroach in a bowl of cherries: https://www.mickmel.com/one-cockroach-will-ruin-the-whole-bowl-of-cherries/
