[QUOTE="beentheredonethat, post: 1144359, member: 4886"] OK, for the major issue, you indicated there was a disagreement over a minor issue. But you didn't indicate what it was. Again, with so little data it's hard to say what exactly happened and whether the boss was right or wrong. The way I'm reading it is that the employee and the boss had a disagreement within ear shot of others, and he said to the employee to come on in the office to discuss. (that's the way I'm reading what you wrote). If so, that's good, discussions should be behind closed doors. The threats of the person's job is old school and I disagree with it. However, ultimatums such as do it the way I tell you to, is perfectly fine in my opinion. If the boss is telling you to do something that is not illegal, or against company policy, or unsafe etc. Then you should do to the best of your ability. I also think you could offer to suggest a better way of doing it. However, if they don't want to hear it, that's fine. Do it their way. If the boss wants you to do something unsafe\illegal\unethical etc, then that should be reported immediately. Again, with only one side of the story, and usually the story shows their side in the best light and the other side int he worst light. Your story doesn't stand up to going to HR. If you left stuff out, then maybe there's more to it. [/QUOTE]
