[quote=Anonymous]This conversation about your tone is a distraction from the fact that his deliverable is late. He doesn't want to have a conversation about that because it's embarrassing to him, so instead is trying to deflect on your one of your personality traits, which is so annoying and sexist.

A lot of us don't like the tone our bosses use and the vast majority of us suck it up and don't say anything. Some of my male bosses have used a more condescending tone with me than with my male colleagues. I haven't said anything, not because I'm afraid to call it for what it is, but because tone and its meaning is very subjective - I perceive it a certain way and make assumptions about why that is. Obviously my boss is going to have his own version of what his tone is like with me and he'll have a different explanation. I see nothing to gain from getting into something that can't be objectively clarified and remedied. If some one is going to raise it, the right time is not when you're caught being late on something though - your subordinate is putting on a side show. [/quote]
