I am highly confrontational and trying to learn different ways to channel that. This is one that worked for me. You can't change your boss but you do get to decide how/when to engage in his foolishness. Also brush up on your written job description. You may need it if/when you respectfully draw boundaries with him. Just a few suggestions.Joybirdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18297146716502529100noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4865699211711235354.post-80714205837479557482011-02-21T15:24:34.156-05:002011-02-21T15:24:34.156-05:00I don't think it is bad to have a confrontatio...I don't think it is bad to have a confrontational nature. Maybe, if more of us would say NO right up front there would be the muck and mire as people avoid...and try and always be comfortable.<br /><br />GloriaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4865699211711235354.post-63076520841660809272011-02-18T13:29:21.020-05:002011-02-18T13:29:21.020-05:00oh friend...

Who I generally respect greatly, but sometimes acts exactly like this. I wish I had something comforting to say to you but nothing comes to mind. I just hope that some resolution comes or that your heart calms down in the right way or at the right time.....Kati patrianoceuhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04067985926119731747noreply@blogger.com
