I would disagree to an extent it ' s possible to be polite to anyone it can just take tact . I think as Winston Churchill once said Tact is the ability to tell someone to go to hell , and make them look forward to the trip . Finally being free from it all is one of the best feelings I ended up trapped for 4 years or so after dropping out of university . I constantly moaned about hating my job and ended up in a bit of a downward spiral . All it took was one conversation with a friend and in went the resignation best decision of my life . <| sep |> I mean , they could move . If I had an employee that wanted me to pay for a bus pass for their commute , I would do that . If they lived in another state and wanted to take a plane , I ' d tell them to move or look for another job . It is that simple .
