Wow, what a dick. Maybe he'll get a crappy review and find someplace else where they'll "appreciate" him. Heh.

takes my edits as "suggestions"

When I was in graduate school, there was a young guy who had a desk in the same bullpen as me, and he treated comments from our draftsperson the same way. She was nice, and she said, "You might want to... [long list of changes he needed to make to bring his mechanical drawings up to spec]." Well, he *didn't* want to, so he didn't make the changes. The guy in charge of the machine shop, where they had to *build* the stuff he'd designed, was considerably less polite about it. Heh. Young Guy comes to me, stupefied. I said to him, "Dude, [draftperson]'s *nicer* than I am. She isn't going to go upside your head and say, 'Do it or else.' But just because she says, 'You may want to...' doesn't mean you actually have a *choice*."

Of course, the difference between Young Guy and your Guy was that Young Guy really was just clueless, and he learned his lesson, real fast. *g*
