Today, I ran into a new guy at work who told me the regional manager was visiting today to evaluate the staff. I scoffed and said that everything I'd heard about the manager made him seem like a total prick. His reply? "Maybe, but I'm a prick who can FIRE people." FML

Sorry to say it but YDI. You don't go around talking bad to people you don't know or that you don't trust to keep a secret. And you definitely don't go badmouthing a boss to some new guy

Has no one seen the show undercover boss?

Idk I feel like OP deserves it but at the same time I might tell a coworker the same thing just to warn them. Plus at least they said "other people say he's a prick" instead of saying it themselves

You don't bad mouth people at work especially higher ups.

You should always let the person them self show you who they are instead of listening to rumors. Everyone should start out equally with you and leave it up to them to moved them up our down...but ydi for spreading comments.

For the record it is slander if the manager readily admits that he might in fact be a prick :)

This is one of those like a boss moments went the pic freezes and and the 2D glasses come floating down

Be professional and keep your anger towards work at home. Simple.

YDI but it was what you had heard about him so it's not 100% your fault
