[QUOTE="trickpony1, post: 142040, member: 1957"] Pick your battles carefully. What do you hope to gain by making your boss look like an a## in front of labor relations and other administrative managers? You could use this in a more productive manner by keeping a logbook of names, dates, what was said and by whom including any witnesses present. By doing this, you can document any pattern that develops. It can also serve as your ace card up your sleeve. Imagine this scenario.......you are called into the office for "whatever" and you casually mention: "Sir, on (name date) and in the presence of (name the steward), did you not say that you hate me in direct violation of (name article number) regarding respect and dignity? This will usually silence management if this conversation occurs in the presence of third and fourth parties. This is just a suggestion....you can do what you want. The manager may have just had a bad day. If you rub this in his nose he will remember it when you screw up. If it was me, I would keep the ace card up my sleeve, smile alot and it will probably pass. Some of these managers have real short attention spans anyway. [/QUOTE]
