Answer 2

I think there are many kind foe disloyalty. If the boss is making all the right decisions then there will be no reason for the employee to make fun of him/her. Also there many kind of "make fun off" such as the way they talk or gesture.

I despise disloyalty, and also stupidity. mostly stupidity, when a employee don't know half of the things you taught them, and when have the no idea of their place in the business. that is the worst kind! I worked in my fathers furniture shop for about 10 yrs, although i started as a child labor, i pretty much learned and managed everything the way I wanted. And when it come to hiring an employee, the new guy thinks he doesn't have to listen to me just because i am younger than he is. and many times he sit and watch me do all he work. and when i confront his lazy butt, he would give me the look like i was making him work. tats the kind of employee you don't want to have ever in your living life!

I to despise disloyalty, I hate whiners like they want the job, want the job, want the job, then they get the jon and whine that they do to much or they dont like this person, or they dont get paid enough.

I know I sound like a sap, but I love my company and that me the best employee I can be. Proud of it!
