>said, "Permission to speak frankly?" "Yes." "I think you are playing supervisory, but it was granted to you, so abuse it while you can." Again, he didn't reply to that.

You just broke the golden corporate rule: "Be careful not to step on the toes connected to the ass you might have to kiss tomorrow". Or was it, "be carefull not to kick the ass to which the toes you are careful not to step on are connected today because they may have to amputate due to diabetes"? Can't remember which one it is!

I URGE you to put all this in writing and send to this person's supervisors. Either way, your chances of keeping your job have just been reduced to 50%.
