Snappy Comeback

If only he'd chastised me face to face instead of via HR! Is it okay that I'm 82 hours late?

It would seem that your bossy and dramatic
is my assertive and clear.


Anyone else smell gender bias?

That pesky gender thing. It could happen. The boss feel threatened at all? I think he does.

As far as this company is concerned, he lives in the penthouse and I'm a basement bottom dweller. What could possibly be threatening about that?

Ed said...

Well, occasionally, a bottom dweller will come up with something the penthouse people should have seen coming and they just might be embarrassed by that. Particularly if that thing comes to the attention of the penthouses superiors. I've had to shoot several penthouse types. They are just pests, you know. You have heard of the "Peter Principle"?

"In a Hierarchy Every Employee Tends to Rise to His Level of Incompetence."

Yes, I knew what the Peter Principle is, but thank you Wikipedia for the precise definition.

Most definitely could be a factor.
