If you think the university is going to fish out some extra dough for us to go wireless, you must be on crack

A guy in my office is real anal about his stuff in his office. He has the fancy new chair that you need an engineering degree just to understand how to adjust the thing. Once or twice a week, his chair mysteriously is raised to the highest position or lowest position.

Since I am one of the first ones in the office in the morning, he came in and asked me if I had seen anyone hanging around his office. Acting very innocent, I said no. He then asked if I could do him a favor and keep an eye out to see if I notice anyone going into his office. "Sure! I'll keep my eye open" ya right!

Do you think that:

After your boss pisses off all your clients and damages their confidence (in him, but not me, I hope), you tell him to fuck off, steal the clients and go off to start your own firm.

would piss off your boss? I'm thinking of trying it, so I may be able to let you know if that 'gets you in trouble at work'?

My brother-in-law did that and his old bosses company sued him. You might want to talk to an attorney before you do that.

Photoshopping a very anatomically correct and phalic looking ring holder into a picture of your boss looking surprised as she opens a Christmas present and then placing it as the photo on the cover of the bridal guide that is to be inserted in all the newspapers.

It was just a mock cover - we didnt really print it...the head line was : "Don't get stiffed by a bad ring..."

hahahaha man that was fun...we did show it to her. She sorta laughed...

tomdarch - wasn't that a Jerry Macquire type of thing? sounds like I heard that somewhere. I guess it just depends on wether or not you want to end up with Rene Zellweger.

blech! I'd rather keep working where I'm at.
but more seriously, if I leave, I'm pretty sure the clients will move over on their own. Plus, there are plenty of people I could have deposed to explain why this seems like a necessary move. If the clients are willing to pay me more for better quality service, that kills the normal basis for the idea that I 'stole' them. Still, I do plan on getting legal advice!

At this point, I'm not sure what I could do to get into trouble at work.
