my ex line manager was a complete ****. so much so, i felt the need to text a fellow colleague my 'explicit' thoughts on what i thought of him but actually sent the text to the line manager in question instead in a brain screw up as i had his name in my head at the time of my recipient search.
he was such a gutless wimp that instead of going to town on me, he apologised to me for his ways and started bleating on about how him and wife were having problems with her daughter.
now, i'm a compassionate person but i wasn't having any of it and couldn't give a stuff. he also blew any ounce of trust i had for the bloke out of the water when he said he wouldn't tell anyone else about the text or meeting even though my 'proper' boss told me he had told him about the text before i'd had the meeting as a heads up!
the gutless ***** is probably reading this now, as he had a habit of spying.
tip of the day, be careful who you text and be your own boss.
