Yep! I guess THAT was my problem all those years...I could never bring myself to be "that strategic" with those bozo managers.
I guess if I'd had feigned "feeling poorly" instead o' confronting them head-on all those times, then maybe they would have gotten the very same message without me forcing 'em into a corner, huh?!
BUT, at least the good part about my "tact" was that eventually those managers knew better than to screw with ME and would eventually leave me alone to do my job!
You see, as an example of this, often when I was in the supervisors' office with a fellow supervisor and one of the managers would walk in with a problem that they SHOULD have known how to fix but of course didn't(no experience), they'd look at me, I'd look back at them with "my look", and usually they'd go to the other poor supervisor for help...and of course, half the time would get the wrong answer from him. THAT certainly saved me a heck of a lot of uselessly spent time at work alright!
(ahh...how I miss those days of yore!...Yep! enjoy your "productive years", Mark!)
