Attempted to make a manager look bad

[Orsorum]

People aove him probably know about his issues.

I'm 13 years into my career and you'd be surprised about how higher ups will say "oh, that's John being John" if you bring it up in a politically correct manner. I've had supervisors say this along with peers.

Just do what you have to do to get your career on the right path. Don't worry about other peoples "problems". No one is perfect.

When people shit like this on you, talk to peers around you. You'd be surprised how unnecessary your e-mail was. t is just reiterating what everyone already knows.

A decent summary of my own though process.

^ best advice you will get in this thread

if you can overlook or negate peoples problems by knowing their faults and finding out how still to work productively with them, you will find it much easier to get ahead in your career

i am always surprised when people say i do a good job and give me promotions and raises, cuz i am just average at what i do. but i can just put up with anything that people at work do and still manage to work with them, and i am convinced that this is %50 of the skill you need for most white collar jobs

the fact that you're replaceable and he's not should be enough to discourage these actions.

So many times I've wanted to say something snarky and managed to hold back before hitting send, which I'm always thankful for.

Sometimes it can work out, but showing off another's ineptitude in front of other people needs to be done very carefully indeed, lest it backfire. If any doubt, don't do it. Also, there is nothing to stop you from emailing somebody over your report if you need to and it's kept confidential. It's possible your supervisor's supervisor will then smarten him up.

You aren't being covert enough in your engineering for his failure. Now he knows you've put a bulls eye on his head he will be more wary of your moves against him.

Bad move.

I call it email politics or sometimes, email excuse. Folks, who believe companies and profits are made by policies rather than people, love to wave printouts around like the Holy Banner of Corprate Righteousness to incite sacrifices to the great god *fill in the blank.* The solution is to never put anything in an email to a company member but, straight business. Then, you catch him alone and tell him directly to his face that he's an asshole and his mother dresses him funny.
