Speaking about my current boss, rusi's right that the situation will
never come up. He errs on the side of paranoia, not sloppiness. (And
before I criticize him for the paranoia, I remind myself of this[1]
PHDComics strip.) But if I had a boss who actually did that, then I
would say my piece, and then my continued employment would depend on
how he took it. If he accepts the criticism and moves on, then we look
to damage control; if not, then I look to getting a new job. I don't
think I would ever mind get fired for making that sort of statement -
if it gets me fired, I'm probably happier out of there anyway.
