I had the guts to stand up to my boss!!! Today, like every Wed. morning was grocery day, so the boss comes in after going to the grocery, usually between 10:15 - 10:30.  Before he arrived, one of our clients called to ask if her case was ready, she sent it mid April.  I found the slides on the bottom of a stack of slides to be returned that the boss put on my desk while I was out on medical leave.  With in minutes, another client called to say he thought there might be a typo on a report he received from us yesterday.  It should be PAS-H, not S-100 in the comment on special stains.  I listened to the tape, luckily I hadn’t erased it.  My boss had dictated S-100.

 

When he arrived, I told him about the stain error first.  He said I MUST have hit the wrong keys.  I said “no sir, I listened to the tape and S-100 was dictated.  I offered to let him hear.  He backed down fast.  Then I told him that in my absence slides were place on my desk to be returned on a case that apparently had not been finalized.  Of course that was going to be my fault also.  I stood my ground and didn’t back down one inch!  I told him the folder with those slides had a rubber band around them with another case that had been reported.  His comment “Good Lord, I should be shot.”  I told him no, everybody makes a mistake once in a while.  He then said he doesn’t mind getting senile, but that was too much.  At least I didn’t back down and take the blame.  I was ready and had already told our business manager I might be leaving and taking tomorrow off too. I am so proud that I was able to act professionally, yet still let my boss know he had made the errors and not allow him to blame me!
