RALFFERS 0 #1 March 27, 2008 So I got a call while in the office today from my regional sales coordinator, who was on the road at the time. Him & I get along very well, and although theres a high level of professionalism, we're casual at times. That said - when I was talking to him at 1 point he started to aplogize and said: "I'm sorry I've been so busy & thus not able to help you this week as much as I'd like to." To this I responded with something to the effect of: "It's alright Marc, don't worry about it dude, after all, you are an RSC & to be busy in your position is perfectly understandable." then it hit me... - um, did I just say D U D E??? Ummmmmmmmmmm - WHOOOOOOOOOPS! I don't know if I shuld apologize or not.....especially since maybe he didn't notice, or doesn't care.Dialogue/commentary between Divot, Twardo & myself - "from your first Oshkosh when the three of us were riding to or from one of Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BillyVance 34 #2 March 27, 2008 I don't think it would be anything bad. Are you two close to the same age or something like that? Since you both have engaged in casual talk, there's some leeway, but yeah, it'd be better to not type that in an email. However, the whole email did sound like you put a guilt trip on him, even if unintentionally."Mediocre people don't like high achievers, and high achievers don't like mediocre people." - SIX TIME National Champion coach Nick Saban Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Tornolf 0 #6 March 27, 2008 If he didn't mention anything then I wouldn't worry about it. This makes me appreciate my company though. I was in Portland on business with my boss a few weeks ago and we got kicked out of 8 bars because I'm underage (I'm 20, he's 32). The comapny hit $400mil in sales this year and my boss is one of the highest ranking people in the company. The best part is that as soon as we got back to the office he brought that up to everybody who came by... They're also thinking about funding our RedBull Flugtag team (me, my boss, 3 other engineers). I just had to brag A waddling elephant seal is the cutest thing in the entire world. -TJ Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

futuredivot 0 #8 March 28, 2008 Nah, you're good with that if ya'll have a established a more laid back relationship. If you weren't comfortable with him, it wouldn't have come out. I wouldn't sweat it. i wouldn't say it all the time, though. What you don't want to say to your boss is "When you get home, ask your wife if she ever found my underwear."You are only as strong as the prey you devour Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

sharimcm 0 #10 March 28, 2008 I call the CEO dude all the time. I also on an almost daily basis go in to his office and say, "Fuck you. Pay me." I actually said that while I was in a meeting with the CEO, VP and my direct boss. They called me in to tell me they were giving me a raise when I said, "Good. Fuck you. Pay me." The CEO started laughing while the VP and my direct boss looked dumbfounded. I think because the CEO acted in a manner that it was OK for me to say that, they chuckled, but still looked confused. Yeah, I guess it is a little inside joke between the two of us... I'm sure if it was in any other office, I would have been fired, not getting a raise.
