Normally I would say don't do it; that is, do not sabatoge your boss in any way if you want to keep your job. However the fact pattern here is interesting.
I work for a rude, aggressive boss. I decided early on to quietly take it and just find a new job (the right new job) as quickly as possible.
Well, the executive assistant to my boss' boss heard that I was unhappy and pulled me aside. She said that I am not the only one, that several others are demoralized and actively seeking employment. There has been a lot of turnover since my boss started...and the pattern has been noticed.
So, next week my boss' boss wants to talk to me about it. This big boss heard about dissent in the ranks and is very alarmed.
So folks, here I have an opportunity to throw my boss under the bus if you will...professionally and tactfully of course.
What you do you think? How should I approach this conversation? I am thinking about hammering my boss...saying he is a bully and ruining morale and backing it up with examples...I will need to think about this though...
And there is actually another layer of boss...my immediate boss who has not been in the job long and has been working on other things. This person strikes me as a chameleon trying to survive (can't blame the person). This is the fourth person in that position in 12 months...part of the turnover I mentioned.
