What would you do.... ?

[Bonzi]

You are on the job and hear your supervisor's boss talking about him, saying:
"He (or she) better do "x, y, z" better or eventually they will be reprimanded and/or fired" --

Do you tell your boss to help him/her keep their job?

Let's make the following assumptions:

(1) You like your boss
(2) You will most likely get his job IF he gets fired or demoted
(3) Your boss has a wife and kids that he/she is struggling to support
(4) You are single and doing well on your current salary

Only to find out you will soon be in the same situation.

Tell him.

May help him, and he'll appreciate it.

Maybe.. maybe not. Maybe he's incompetent and in over head in his position.... but, if that is the case, even with your help, ultimately, he may lose his job in the end anyway....

I don't talk to the boss about other employees.

That's what kiss-asses do.

 

[Iceweasel]

I wouldn't do anything except my job. You are asking for trouble by playing games.

That's not really where I was going with this....
You over-hear your BOSS' SUPERVISOR talking to someone else (you are not talking to anyone, you just happened upon information that might help your direct boss...)

The only person you would consider talking to would be YOUR boss - but I do agree with you, I've never been an ass-kisser (but then again, I've never climbed the corporate ladder - coincidence???)

 

[Moonglow]

I don't do algebra at work so let the boss handle the x,y and z...

 

[AVG-JOE]

Conspire with my boss to get his boss canned so we can BOTH move up one rung. That guy was always a prick.

usually what his boss has to say is private.

I'm not going to give my direct superior a heads up.

My boss is an asshole. He thinks everyone in the shop is screwing off all of the time. When he was in our shop he used to drive his truck to a mechanical room and it sat there all day, every damn day. It never moved. He was a lazy asshole. He and I are the same age. He never has anything good to say about anyone. Lately he's been chewing me out for stuff he himself does....so why would I do him any favors. He's chased away some good workers. They couldn't put up with his constant bs.

Then you can put up with customer and employee BS...

I'm very good at that... I don't get upset easily and it's hard for people to stay upset with me (well, not here... !)
