Do What I Mean, Not What I Say

[taerowyn]

So my boss tells me that as manager of my department all staffing decisions are up to me. I tell him my decision and "Well, what I was thinking was..." and he describes the exact opposite of what I had decided. If you are going to tell me to make the decision, stick by my decision damnit. I did talk him into it, rather reluctantly, after explaining why I thought my way was better. Of course now if it backfires I'm completely screwed. And I wanted to stay here how much longer?
