I work for a very small firm. My boss (the owner) often goes off on my coworkers--one left, and the other is still here. He's an intern with very little experience, and the boss will sometimes rip him a new one, when he could be a lot more tactful. From what I hear, employees in the past have left because of this.
For whatever reason, the boss doesn't act this way toward me. If he starts to, I basically react like I won't have any of it.
My question is: when he does go off on my coworker, should I speak up? I hate being the middleman in these situations. The boss will gripe to me about the coworker when he's not there, and the coworker vents to me about the boss when the boss isn't there. What should I do?
My coworkers (including the one who left) don't do great work, but it's no excuse for my boss being unprofessional. Any advice...?
