[QUOTE="klmno, post: 405383, member: 3699"] I'm on board with all of that, Marg. I apologize for not getting back to this sooner- I actually typed up a response a couple of days ago but my internet service clicked off and I lost it all and am just now ready to try it again. So the short version from this week at work- I heard two stories from boss. One about him hitting a car while driving and it was his fault and he was going to take responsibility but the other driver got out of his car and seemed mad about it so boss intentionally tried to provoke him to become physical because (according to boss) the guy should have been friendly. The next one- he had gone on a business trip and went to a bar that had a cover charge. He paid with a large bill and the guy at the door who took his money didn't give him change. He got mad, went to the restroom and stuffed tiolet paper down the toilet until it caused a plumbing problem. Yeah, I get why he'd be annoyed but this isn't the type of person I can tolerate for very long. Third thing that happened- another woman who works for him but not in our specific work location has a high level college degree and it's well known that he can't stand her. So, he asked me to call her and ask a question about how far she has gotten with a certain assignment. I did, on speaker phone like he asked and of course, told her right away that she was on speaker and he was standing right there. (Now why didn't he just call?) Anyway, she very nicely asked what was the reason for the question so she could clarify better. He nicely responded then we all got off the phone. But once client's rep was back in the area where boss and I were, boss starts saying he called her and she gave him attitude and questioned why he'd called in the first place, "like it was a stupid question". She didn't do that but since client's rep took boss for face value, he started saying that boss shouldn't have to put up with stuff like that. Boss has had it in for that poor woman as soon as she was hired and started taking initiative and people she works directly with wanted to tap into her knowledge and skills. The client's rep we work directly with says he wants to do that with me on next contract- he wants me working directly for him helping him most all the time. I KNOW that wasn't in my boss's plan and I can only imagine what lengths he would go to in order to turn client's rep against me. [/QUOTE]
