Rude Boss - Part 2

The continuing saga of the rude boss.

In the last couple of weeks, there is a 180 degree change in him. He is no longer threatening or making reasonable demands. When I told him I was busy with other stuff, he extended the deadlines of my work and even offered to take back some of my work so I wont be too busy or flatout.

He even took me out to lunch at Cafe Sydney as an appreciation of my efforts. During lunch he asked me what type of work I enjoyed doing and we talked about religion. I didn't know that he was also a Christian and he attended some Eastern Orthodox church. It was an interesting discussion about the differences in my religion and his religion.

Today, he took me out to coffee and we just chatted about random stuff, like religion, literature and movies. He seems to be a nice person.

Even though there is a change in him, I still wonder whether this change is permanent, or whether he is treating me nice as he wanted to me to help him and work for him more. Maybe this is his way of trying to win me over to him. I don't know. Maybe I think too much. Anyway, at this point in time, I still do not trust him.

Or maybe he has no friends at work and wants to befriend me. I have heard that everyone knows of his rudeness and the way he acted when he first started, so maybe he is neglected by the other bosses in our firm.

All very interesting.
