think its different. err. think my ex boss probably very tempted to
fire me and my colleague many times for insubordination too.
heehee... it was reallyfunny once my colleague got so pissed she
asked him "LOOK! YOU hire me to THINK right? So i am thinking you
are WRONG now, so am I supposed to tell you that? Or you hire me to
AGREE?" the boss got stumped.
but that's the key u see.. u need to bring some form of unique
contribution to the team as well as the position you play int he
company.
Unfortunately if you are general issue service staff or easily
dispensable, usually the bosses won't be as tolerant.
yeah.. it sucks that way..
mine was.. uhh.. basically the cowardice, stupidity and general
asswipery of both the boss of the other team and the big boss
caused an incident where if people knew what happened, they'd
demand both of them fired, and maybe even imprisoned..
i was there swearing at the other team boss in front of the
staff of his team, staff of my team, and the general public.. with
vulgar language, calling him a $#%@ing disgrace to his uniform, his rank, the
organisation and as a human being.. and suicide was the only way
for him to atone for his dereliction of duty.. and that his
cowardice and his manipulation of the big boss's own cowardice has
cost the whole department dear..
he just stood there, rooted to the ground, unable to move and
shivering in fear... taking it all from an officer who is of lower
rank than he is..
of course the big boss didn't like it.. he took me aside a week
later and tried to threaten me.. i looked him in the eye and told
him to do so.. and we'll see what will happen... he backed off in
fear.. and began a campaign to drag my name through the dirt which
remains until this day... but in there, he's also shamed himself
badly.. really really badly..
insubordination? it depends on what is going on isn't it?
