Stop in for a cup of coffee

You are spot on. Thanks to this reply and the others since last night, I made up my mind and acted.

I walked into the CEOs office and told him flat out what my new rules are. I am the expert, you are not...and you will not crawl up my *** pretending you know more than I do any more. From now on, I speak and you listen.

If you don’t respect my 30 years of experience with 10 new drugs approved worth over $5 billion dollars and start playing by my rules...then you have 2 choices.

First, fire me. Second, I hand you my resignation right now.

What’s it going to be?

Then I just stared at him.

He looked like a truck had run over him.

Needless to say, I am still employed...and tomorrow starts a new chapter.
Sounds very good.
Hopefully he has no second thoughts and starts testing you bit by bit. You know how people like that can be.
