What
plan of attack do you recommend? My manager's boss is
a Vice President. |
| S:
|
Well,
we have to be careful here. We need to make sure that
whatever you tell the Vice President is in strict confidence. |
| L:
|
How
can I do that? |
| S:
|
When
you make your appointment with the Vice President, state
that it is for a personal problem that you need to discuss
with him. And when you finally meet him, ask him to
keep everything you tell him confidential. That includes
not telling your boss. |
| L:
|
Do
you think he won't tell? |
| S:
|
If
he says he won't tell, then I don't think he will. I
don't think he would risk a lawsuit. If he won't agree
to keep everything you tell him a secret, then cancel
the rest of the meeting. |
| L:
|
Ok.
I'll make an appointment tomorrow. |
