we do hear you, but it might not be what we are looking for, so we disagree with it and put it by the wayside.  Ask him questions and his opinion when you are talking to him.

Listen to what they have to say,

get your phone out, put yourself in close proximity to the loud person, pretend to have a conversation with someone on your phone, and say really loudly "hey bob can you hear me? are you sure? I think everyone in this room is being forced to listen to our conversation because I am talking so loud"                      if that doesn't work, tell them to shut the hell up!

If the email truly was as bad as you indicate, then I don't think that your boss actually thinks that you are sensitive, despite what he said. He probably feels a bit of responsibility for not dealing with the situation earlier, and now feels compelled to justify his lack of action. He may feel that by labeling you as "sensitive", then he is off the hook for not taking corrective action earlier, because he "didn't think it would bother you". I have a feeling he is trying to say "Wow, I failed to realize that this was a situation worthy of my intervention, and I'm sorry that my lack of action caused you suffer." The first part came out as "The guy is an a**" and the second part came out as "I didn't know you were so sensitive". This boss is just a poor communicator and is looking to defend himself. I wouldn't worry about looking like a "composed professional" in his eyes, as he is not acting like a true leader anyway.

Too much bandwith was being used in the chats.

Just listen, don't say much unless you REALLY need to defend yourself. Wait till they cool down and THEN discuss your opinion. I've found this is the best way to handle this situation. Because after you let them cool down they are MUCH more likely to agree with you.

Because he's got something important to say, that's why.\nNow, shut up and listen!

Excuse me Bradship, I think the Mothership wants you back.  Maybe it's past your bedtime you window licking jerk!\n\nI think pansy flowers would be a better sign for your political party.\nNo, I take that back...a dog licking it's A$$.\n\n\nIt's kindergarden when you have more fun fucking with people.  I guess that didn't come to mind when you posed the question huh?  How long did it take you to get out of there anyway?  Or, are you still there?  Funny, you want to talk about politics and all.  Here you sit in front of your computer at 4:36 am, with NOTHING better to do than to put down Republicans?  That takes a lot of \nB-R-A-I-N power.  Bravo!  Gold star!

Kind of.  But only because the customer thought they were on mute and started making comments about our company and individuals.  I didn't go off, but I definitely addressed the situation.  Boy, was he embarrassed.  He treated us differently from then on.   And this was a representative of a major US automotive manufacturer!

Someone called Howard on the air about that, and I guess it is possible if Howard wants it to be so. He said he has no problem doing that. Which would be great for some of us that work in offices. Right now I have the boombox going and I don't even realize that it sounds "bad" until someone says something. Like "what did they just say, something about how to prepare for anal" I start laughing and turn it down, until they walk away and then crank it back up. Love ya Howard!

Depends on whether they are gossiping about others or about you. If it is about you, confront them the gossipers. If it is about others, be polite but turn a deaf ear. If it is about the company, coming layoffs, a merger etc. pay attention and consider how it might affect you.

Who was that begging us to be nice to this guy? Wake up lady! This is the United States of America! If you are stupid, you get criticized. Politics is a tough business. He knew that going in. Bush aint a crackhead though. The other writer was correct. He is a dry drunk. I think he is a little coked out too which explains is absolute inability to speak coherently. The guy is President of the US and cant even speak well publicly. What is that? All he can do is read or spew the same ole rehearsed talking points. I think he needs another vacation.
