[QUOTE="CV355, post: 16021442, member: 181885"] Those are called Ask-holes. Sometimes they do it for plausible deniability (another term I friggin' hate). "Oh well I asked so-n-so what to do and he said do this." Uh, yeah, I did give advice- you chose to go a different direction. Not saying I'm always right. When I started in my career, I had no "wins" under my belt and I second guessed every decision I made. After a few wins, and a few losses, I learned that humility heals a lot more than shirking responsibility. "I was wrong, here's why" shows others that you're not afraid to take responsibility, and share a learning experience. With more experience came more confidence, but it takes a balance. My old boss called it "humble pie." Confidence builds before ability, and people always wind up eating that pie. There have been times where I strongly cautioned someone to stop what they were doing and proceed with the direction I wanted. It took 3 attempts before I finally said "at this point, I am no longer recommending. You need to trust me and correct course on this. I understand and can appreciate your thought process on this, but you need to do as I am asking in this scenario." You have to tiptoe these days. The stuff my first boss got away with doesn't fly anymore. Grabbing someone by the collar and pushing them out the door is a surefire way to have a lawsuit. [/QUOTE]
