HEY, NEW BOSS! Read THIS!!!!

Remember when I told you I was loyal in my interview? Well, the way to earn that loyalty is NOT to bash my old boss (who helped shape the person you hired, and who I respect highly) OR to let my staff circumvent me to tell you about situations you hired me to deal with--and that I was dealing with.

Helping another one of my staff members gun for my previous boss isn't helping your cause much, either. He's gunning for him because he percieves that the boss put a halt on his career....I think you were told about this too: the boss demoted him because of the sexual harassment charges that an entire state program was leveling against him and his many brands of improper work practices. (That I am having to clean up for you, now.) He's lucky he didn't get fired. He should have been. I don't know what ax you have to grind there, or if my employee just poisoned the well, but your support of him makes you highly suspect. I don't appreciate you not telling me all of the relevant details; instead I got them from a colleague. You aren't looking good. The gag order didn't help. Sure, you chose a great office, and I got a nice raise that you didn't have to give me until next year, but, sorry, I just can't be bought with $$$ like that.
