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.
Time for an office prank. Refer to The Office for ideas.
The Drew Carey Show was good for this too. Mimi and Drew were always pranking each other. Good times. :)

You probably got in trouble for making people look at pictures of your kid.

I'm only kidding. I'm not really. OK, I am.

Go to the tattletale like you're in a rage. Tell her you were told not to slam the phone anymore because of somebody but you're so furious about something that you've got to punch something. Ask her what you can punch.

I don't think saying this is going help your cause.
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.
I'm glad you aren't in charge in my office. I'd be out the door in a second.

I am glad I am not in charge in my office. I'd be a real dick to work for.
