To His Credit… Wait…

I had a new boss who was hired from outside our industry. As the lead for our depot, I was responsible for many of the logistics and warehouse goings-on and had pretty much free rein from the main office as long as everything was taken care of. I had over twenty years of experience and had started at the bottom.

I came to find out that [New Boss] was taking credit for some of the accomplishments and improvements I had initiated and making me look like I was slacking. We had a big meeting at corporate one week, and I had a very nice chat with one of the higher-ups that I had known for years and found out what was being pulled.

About two weeks later, [Higher-Up] and some others of power showed up at the depot and called [New Boss] out on his scheme. They embarrassed the h*** out of him.

Higher-Up: “You are the general manager, but [My Name] is the one with the experience and know-how. We know that the things you’ve claimed as yours weren’t.”

[New Boss] lasted about two and a half weeks and then left. Needless to say, he mostly just sat in his office and left me alone until his departure.
