Dissing the Boss

tjcollier · 09-04-2009 , 12:54 PM

I work as an Office Mgr / Exec Asst. to CEO at a small company (7 people total). One of the key managers is constantly dissing the CEO. I think he feels comfortable doing this with me b/c I vented to him a few times. I realized what a huge mistake that was and have since stopped. But what do I do now about this manager continuing to diss the boss? His attitude is so anti our CEO, and it sets a bad example for the team, hinders motivation & productivity, etc. Any help or suggestions would be appreciated!

Thank you!

You have to speak "offline" to this manager and tell him exactly what you just said - it sets a bad example for the team, hinders motivation, etc. Tell him you realize that it was not in the best interest of the company for you to "vent" about the CEO, and that you are asking him to present a unified team.
