> I'm going to disagree with Alex about confronting your boss. He may want you to get the message that you need to improve without his needing to make it official. If that's the case the last thing you want to do is force him to put his complaints on the record.

i don't mean turn it into a confrontation. this is why i'd email - i'd think long and hard about the phrasing and the tone in order to keep it light. lighter than i could be about it in person.

i don't see how the boss being direct = official complaint on the record. i'd think of it more as a request. e.g., if he wants you to arrive at work at x time...

then you would appreciate it if he could simply ask this of you.

nothing i hate worse than 'he says she says' of office politics. certain employees trying to make certain other employees look bad... did someone else get a talking to directly from the boss about their arriving late so they start bitching about your activities? does your boss usually communicate in such an indirect fashion (some bosses love to promote employee one up manship and infighting)

?
