Bombastic boss gave insane instructions to sensible sysadmin, with client on speakerphone

Re: The ones that really annoy me

I was in a high level meeting where my boss demanded to know why I had not followed standard protocol and done something completely different instead. I responded by sliding a copy of an email from him, over to him and pointed out, in front of his bosses, where he had instructed me to ignore standard protocol and do what he'd told me to do instead.

In fairness, I was used to him stabbing me in the back to look good, so I'd come prepared.
