OMG...OMG.....OMG!

How on earth do you stand it, Hops?

I tell you what, I could not work there.  I don't care if it was the best job in the world, I would have quit or got fired years ago.  You are amazingly brave and strong to keep going in that place day after day. 

Now see, this is exactly why I like where I work.  We just let it all hang out.  I usually know somebody is mad at me when my shoes come up missing. Then I know to look in the false ceiling and get them back. Every year or two somebody gets in a big ol' cat fight and they threaten to fire everybody, then everything settles down and it all goes back to normal.

I like your idea of sitting in the group and then saying, "How do I feel about this?  I feel like its a lot of bullshit!" Too bad you cant get away with that one. 

If it was me, I would jsut sit there and say something that sounded good, thn go back to work.  You know nothing is going to change anyway. 

Good luck.  It's almost Friday.

Aaaaaaaggggggghhhhh. Right along with you, Hops.

I've got to believe that there is a right answer to this dilemma. I don't know what it is. I will think on it awhile - and hopefully inspiration will strike in time. Maybe in the meantime, ProdMan will cross some boundary that forces Nboss' hand in some way.

Fingers crossed, eyes closed.... I wish....

Hopalong:
Erin, thank you:

This is really sane, sound advice.

D'uh! I think it probably really IS that straightforward.
(I just get kind of re-traumatized when Nboss drags me through his fantasies and game stuff.)

I am going to try to just get my emotional boundaries back UP and be too darn busy to let Nboss "play with my head" about ProdMan as much as he's been doing lately. That has felt like a setback.

Thank you for helping me get the aluminum scrap back in my spine.... :)

Hops

Redhead Erin:
That has been my strategy for years, in dealing with all kinds of BS.  remember, any physicist will tell you the path of least resistence is Nature's way.

Only 1 day til the weekend.  Good luck!

Oy, Hops, how do you sit there and not cross your eyes while listening to NBoss's ideas?

This is a game for him, oh so very fun.  The glee of watching everyone expose themselves emotionally, with him there to to tisk tisk over the likely fallout. 

Whoo hoo, huh?

This is a terrible game, and a terrible idea, all at your expense, though it's a safe bet Prodman, and everyone else in the office, is feeling like their towels about to ripped away as well.

What have the new-hire-boys said about the NBoss' proposals?

What a nutsy rocksy koo koo crazy idea for the boss sit everyone down, and do this strange version of "couple's therapy" with all the employees.

It seems he's more interested in showcasing this toxic behavior, than laying out rules of engagement, consequences for failing to comply, and follow through, IMO.

Do you think it makes NBoss feel like a hero? 

Does all this running around, gazing into everyone's navels, absolve him of all his transgressions against you?

I can't wait to hear what the new-hire-boys have to say about it.
