Re: Re: Bullying bosses

[Guest guest]

I gave DH's old boss a right ticking off after he phoned DH at home

when he was off sick and kept him talking through something technical

on the phone for 45 minutes. DH had flu at the time, real flu not

just a manly cold and really wasn't up to it. When his boss phoned

again an hour later I told him in no uncertain terms that I was not

letting him speak to DH who was now asleep and that if he phoned again

I was going to be contacting the MD & the Union. That firm was a joke

as they paid peanuts and then expected people to be phoned during

holidays - they even phoned DH on the morning of his granny's funeral

and even he blew his stack at that! They even used to phone him after

he left until he asked them what rate they were paying him for his

advice.
