Just started a new job, and a male coworker has been really rude to me. There is a ton of turmoil and change here, so I just stayed steady and patient. Tonight, he called me to apologize for being a dick, said it was all on him - he's really struggling with his boss and friend leaving, and he promised to do better. I'm impressed.

Sometimes bad starts workout the best in the long run and visa versa.

I was brought in, basically, to replace his boss and very close friend. I knew he was struggling, and I just wanted to hang in there. The place is going through a merger, and the people are awesome - which is why I accepted the position. I think we have a good chance to make this work.
@skye724Yes, it's always somewhat chaotic with a new boss. You're the type of person that will control the situation and succeed. Good luck to you.
That is impressive. I like people who can admit they made a mistake. That's important.

I thanked him for his honesty and generosity. It had to be tough to make that phone call, and I was impressed.
