Some of you may know I'm pissed with my boss, not the boss of the company but just the VP i report to. Here's a little trail:
POST
So, today, in response to a work request...here was my reply:
ABC,
I'm afraid I cannot make it at that time. I will only have my car around 9:30am so the earliest I can make it is around 10:15++ am.
With all due respect I feel that some consideration needs to be given towards my time, needs and rights. I understand that your take on some issues and tasks may be fastidious, but that does not necessarily negate or make everything or everyone else(s) secondary. This may or may not be intentional on your end but it comes across that way.
We can speak about these sometime later today as they surely need to be addressed for the benefit of both of us.
Sincerely,
abc.
Update:
He read the email late last evening and he called me kinda pissed off..talked a bit, basically justifying himseld, then talked about how he DOES put my needs into consideration...blah-blah, ended with we need to talk mano-mano, not by email/phone.
so we met at the datacenter today..at my suggested time...both of us seemed to be in a good mood. Smiled, laughed, talked...worked a bit...never mentioned anything about the email. He said he's going back office, i said i'm going home..see him friday since i'm off tomorrow and he's off thursday. Again zero mention of email.
