[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is why I hate working for women. And I am a woman.

You feel threatened and upset that another woman was willing to step up and do something you weren’t and are afraid to do

She doesn’t need to tell you anything so no she didn’t hide anything. That’s pathetic woman thinking. [/quote]

For what it's worth, I'm a man (not OP) and I disagree entirely. Secretly going over someone's head is inherently undermining and a sure way to make enemies.   Saying "hey, boss, I hear what you are saying but I want to visit with Mr. Corner Office to hear where he is coming from and where I fit in" would get a response like "Sure, don't do it this week, he's freaked out about the Glengarry leads.  Try to get on his calendar late next week if you can. Let me know how it goes."  It's a night and day difference, and if an employees shows they don't get this, their political judgment is in question and one needs to be careful assigning them sensitive things or important client-facing opportunities.[/quote]
