Yeah, and that's why I'm so PO'ed. I've been a manager of people for over fifteen years, and you never reprimand an employee in front of others, especially a client. TTH your discription for a scorpio had one thing correct. I am very tolerant but I can only take so much then I have a short fuse. I was very professional and held my tongue and defended my position with facts and figures, and proved my case. But he never acknowledged I was right and he never apoligized. I've got some thinking to do tonight and some decisions to make. I'll talk things over with my wife (she my best advisor) and then I'll tell the little b*****d to F*** O**.
I really appreciate you ladies letting me rant on like this, it's nice to have someone to talk with.

Some people have a natural ability in areas, maybe that is one of his?

whatcha po'ed about?


I vented earlier this morning, but long story, short. I caught hell from our customer because his building went way over the original budget. I explained to him that it was because of all the changes that he made that caused the price to go up. Then my boss sided with the customer and went up one side of me and down the other. It didn't matter that the project had been going for over a year and I just inherited it three months ago.
And the day went downhill from there.


Did your boss do this in front of the customer?


So the answer is yes?

Before making a drastic decision sometimes it is better just to wait a few days so you don't act on the anger, but rather good judgement. My opinion is all.

it's kinda boring but it fits our team to a tee. 15to500 we used to live fifteen steps apart now we live 500 miles hoping to go even further to meet up at the ranch!
