He knew what I ment. He told me the only reason he was talking to me was to placate Rumpelstiltskin.
I was thinking that this was the most likely cause of your call to the office. At least he was honest about it.

I told my boss that I was just very passionate about my job and making sure my stores are taken care of. I told him I will just start caring less.
Do you work in an office full of 3rd grader tattle-tails? You must have a super micro-manager boss. I could set my phone on fire and I don't think he would care.
300 lb troll. Always mad about everything. Complains to the bosses every time someone is nit in dress code 100% Total b-. I think she probably is 3rd grade educated, but don't quote me on that, she could be a 2nd grade drop-out.
You must put all of her desk items in jello!
She would then need to be taken to the hospital to have all her desk items surgically removed from her stomach....
:D

My coworkers know better than to "F" with me. I have remote access to every computer in the company. As a joke, several co workers have seen very creative wallpaper appear on their PC's.

If you really told him those last two things then you just threw fuel on the cry babies fire imo.

He knew what I ment. He told me the only reason he was talking to me was to placate Rumpelstiltskin.

That's poor leadership. If he has the time to chastise you to appease a tattle-tale, he can be paid less or replaced.

True, but it's pretty typical.

Right, and most middle-management is replaceable or redundant. It's a holding pattern while they wait for upper-management to retire or be recruited out.
