I think what he is trying to do is called 'humour'. ......
He is also man enough to realise and admit that people will bitch about him and/or the company behind his back.
ukatco_235, ahhhh ...... such innocence!! It's a bit more than bitching. And what they're "bitching" about has a bit more substance than you seem to think. Don't confuse the highly competent
