The list of terminated people collecting salaries from the Yankees is a long one. This leaves them in Steinbrenner's debt and service. Steinbrenner has every right to run his organization the way he wants, although he seems unwilling to see that his constant changing of managers and the treatment of his employees has an effect on the public's perception of him as an individual. Besides lacking common courtesies, Steinbrenner lacks personal boundaries. Stories of his calling employees at all hours of the night abound.
People appear to be treated as interchangeable parts rather than as living human beings.
People who objectify others often tend to be self-protective and seem unrelated. Maybe they only become human to George Steinbrenner when they are in peril, turmoil or need.
