[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I manage 10-20 people.  I look out for my staff, I support and advocate for my staff.

If one of my staff crossed me like that, I would simply stop looking out for them.  They would be on their own.  I don't have time for people who try to circumvent me.  If it was an A+ employee, I might make an effort, but it usually isn't- otherwise they would have gotten the raise.
Once I decide to neglect a staff person, they usually leave in a year or so, which is good for all.

And keep in mind that your boss might be the exact same way. And something you see as advocating for yourself might be viewed by that person as a “betrayal”

You are a not a benevolent ruler watching out and guiding your subjects. You need to lose that mindset fast.
You are a manager of a team proving a work product and at anytime somebody could come along and deem no longer needed.

Btw I am in my 40s and have seen this attitude so many times that I now just sit back and wait for the person to get sacked. Always happens. Always. Because you are focusing on being a ruler of people and not enough on the work and your own value. [/quote]
