Ethics/Boss Question

here's the scenario:

I was supposed to have a quote for a repair to my boss by 2pm yesterday or he wasn't going to bother with presenting it to the board today in Durham.

LONG story short. I didn't see the quote yesterday, so I said fug it. It was a huge longshot anyways and I was really busy.

This morning my boss calls asking where the quote is. I say I never saw it and let me call the electrician. Electrician is a flake (but cheap so I have to use him) so when he says he faxed it I don't believe him and ask for a refax. I get the refax and call my boss back, and this is what he says,

"why are you lying to me?"

I'm like "excuse me?"

he says "I came in the office this morning and found it in your box and made a copy, why did you lie to me about not having it?"

I later found the quote in question in a stack of papers I hadn't gone through yet. So all I'm guilty of at this point is not believing the electrician and not sorting my paperwork, NOT of lying.

I tell my boss this and he says he can't trust me anymore, now I'm pissed. HE lied to set me up, plain and simple. I told him that I was only guilty of not looking and not believing the electrician, and that he was the one guilty of lying. My question to him was "what did this accomplish?" to which he had no answer.

I know what he's doing though, I'm next in line for his job when he moves away next year and he's trying to take me out of the running because I made him look bad to corporate a few months ago and he doesn't like me anymore. What a bitch.

What do you guys think?

your boss is a jerk. That exchange was completely unprofessional. If he has the most say in who succeeds him, and you really think he's out for you, think how you will feel when/if someone else gets the position (if you want it). If it will bother you if you don't, start looking. If you think you can still get the position then it might be worth it to wait it out. 0.02

your on a slippery slope right now, Ya I know that's what she said, but if I were you I would be careful. If u are in line for this job, get out of his way and try not to *** it up.

I'm now convinced he won't recommend me because I made him look bad a while ago. It was when I got assaulted, all I wanted was a couple days off and he denied my request, when corporate found out they jumped his poo, ever since then he's hated me.

I'm heading out soon to start looking, I see the writing on the wall. Him being able to say I'm not trustworthy is his big ammo. Never mind that I've been trustworthy the last 10 years I've been here, no, lets just go off of this setup.

Sounds like a huge douche to me.

He really is.

      The "now it's been three years" Grade for the 2023 Draft

      By Steves89 · Posted

      Didn't  see this posted (since 2023) but since folks have been posting that you can't judge a draft class for three years (a ridiculous take), I thought I'd post this to see what people thought about the 2023 draft. Unfortunately this may not be the most interesting class to do this with but I do quite like retrospective draft grades. Would appreciate other's takes on this (and other recent) draft classes.   1(1) - Bryce Young QB: I am a bigger Bryce Young apologist than most (maybe all). I like the kid. But there is no way around it: This was a terrible pick. If he had been picked in the 4th or even the 3rd round I would feel pretty good about it. But this was the first overall pick that we gave up two firsts, our best offensive player to get.  GRADE: C -    2(39) - Jonathan Mingo WR: not much to say here here. He was here for two years. His yards per catch are on par with Bryce's yards per pass. Rough stuff. To date he has still never scored a touchdown in the NFL GRADE: F   3(80) - DJ Johnson OLB: a pick I hated as soon as it happened and an example of why the premise of this thread is honestly dumb. This was a bad pick when it happened. Most people knew it.  Then came training camp and he did not look good. Then came the preseason which confirmed what we saw in TC. Then came the season which confirmed what we saw in preseason. To date, he has half a sack in his career. GRADE: F 4 (114) Chandlers Zavala G: Honestly the best pick of this draft which really speaks to how awful this draft is. Other than Bryce, the only pick still on the team. He is mostly average or below average depth which in round 4 is not terrible. But he had a pff score of 43.5 and though I think people have unrealistic expectations for draft picks, I still would want a little more from a fourth round pick GRADE: C+   5 (145) - Jammie Robinson S: I liked the pick when it happened but ended up being a disappointment. He logged 1 tackle with the falcons last year and not enough snaps to get a grade on PFF.  GRADE: F OVERALL DRAFT GRADE: F
