With a tongue as sharp as the knives in his kitchen, Gordon Ramsay has been voted TV's biggest bully by numerous polls and is an honorary member of the Britain's Most Unbearable Bosses club. Viewers of Hell's Kitchen and The F Word will see Ramsay using profane language and behaving like a short-tempered martinet of the kitchen. And in real life, “he is exactly the same as you have seen on television charming and always foul-mouthed,” according to one food critic.
But he didn't get his Michelin stars just by being hot-headed and swearing at his staff. In fact, for all his profanities, Ramsay has managed to keep 80% of his staff for the past 10 years.
