[Dear You. . .]

[slick]

Dear boss from hell:
When my colleague and I meet with you tomorrow morning, we will be cool, calm and collected. Our conversation will be clear and concise and we will lay our cards on the table. I know that you will listen to our concerns but will you really "hear?"

This meeting doesn't have to be heated. We can come to some compromise without hurt feelings....well, I remain hopeful.

Signed,
Your "subordinate"
