    I think the general orientations received here are very valuable (especially Mike, tickle, MintJulep) - anyway thanks to all. I learned a lot, really.

    How to avoid a private meeting with boss

    I am not flabbergasted as I understand there are different (and wise) views on the subject and its always difficult to illustrate a situation matching the "real word" without bias and subjectivity - although I think I tried - as its in my best interest to do so. I am not against sitting a...

    How to avoid a private meeting with boss

    Ron, If the communication is delivered in a way that would effect negatively the self esteem of an employee - it becomes an issue with regard to the HSE framework in place. I have the HSE code content at my end (this was in fact my training material when I went through the certification...

    How to avoid a private meeting with boss

    Dear all, I am requested to attend a meeting in private with the one-over-one boss. I suspect this is a sort of discipline meeting.
