[QUOTE="JimJimmyJames, post: 502060, member: 11425"] Keeping one's enemies closer than your friends allows you to be ready so when eventually the knife is being thrust into your back...at least you were looking over your shoulder and have the ability to move out of the way. Unfortunately, every management person has the capability of being your "enemy" based on the whims of the company. One minute you are having a nice conversation with your boss, the next he is berating you for some ridiculous reason or another based on whatever flavor of the moment dictate from corporate. Even when your boss knows these mandates are unreasonable, he/she will come after you because their job depends on it. Enemy is a harsh description of what might better be called a "potential adversary", but Sleeve_meet_Heart was simply using that classic "enemies closer" axiom to succinctly state the sentiment that I just described in this post. Thanks for the advice, Sleeve :happy2:. [/QUOTE]
