Fellas... Dickheads... I didn't say I wanted to get him fired. I just asked the question.

I tell you, when the ADD brigade comes out they usually come out in full force.

Ask him if he like snakes , I can get U 1  :D

Are you certain your boss would be fired?

great point... ones view is not always in accord with reality, and that ain't gonna end well.

the real question: how much do u value your job?

if u go for it... be sure, and go hard.

No.

A) my boss is a good guy, a visionary with passion
B) I doubt whoever replaced him would be as good to work with
C) I don't want his job

So in conclusion, no I would not.
It's a dog eat dog society. Always someone waiting to backstab.

Anybody in the position to have "boss" fired would likely be in line for the job. If so, then take whats yours.

If he don't do it the next inline will & maybe then backstab the OP. sometimes even if the boss is a rat there could be a bigger one just waiting in line. when he takes over a new boss always likes to shine so changes come, mostly worse for the workers.

I feel like I owe him some loyalty for hiring me, so it's not a given that I'd try to get him fired. But seeing as I already do most of his work, it would make sense for the company to have me replace him. And sure, many people feel like they are better than their boss. But seeing as I am creating HIS 5-year strategy, and discussing that strategy with the COO directly, it does not seem unreasonable.

Well, the thing is... I can get him in trouble anonymously, without getting myself in trouble. Firstly, by going directly to the compliance department at my firm, which has an anonymous line or by going directly to the authorities, again, anonymously.

Let me finish by saying that this guy has gotten many people laid off so... the temptation is there.

Seems you've never read 48 Laws of Power, 33 Strategies of War, or Atlas Shrugged.

Barbarians at the Gate, House of Cards, Art of Seduction, Book of Five Rings, & maybe Den of Thieves may also help.

Read those and you wouldnt be coming to getbig asking people who've been working for somebody else all their life how to play office-politics.

Others are just good at what they do and don't concern themselves with politics bullshit.  It's pretty nice.

And being good at what you do provides opportunities. Only idiots pass them up.

"Hey Dave, you know tom, the regional sales director is leaving in 2 months, I was thinking you'd be a good fit. What do you think ?"

" dauurrr. Duuuhhhh... I dunno..daurrr. I'd liken to be given the job based on merit..fairer dough.."

"That's... Kinda what I meant face... What do you think?"

" dauurrr... Eh.. Duhhhh..."

"Ok... Steve! You know the RSD position is avai....."

Steve:" ill tAke it!!"

"Excellent! How's a 5 per...."

"Steve: "8!... 8 percent would be fine, thanks."

"Okay! 8% it is then.. That's the ambition we like to see here!"

I note that neither Dave nor Steve employed any sort of machiavellian shenanigans.  I'll permit this.

Although I find it rather telling you didn't include a Jamal, a Jose, or a Maud (formerly known as Steve).  Please imagine a visit to the imaginary HR dept at your imaginary office.

I don't see Jamal or Jose having any opportunitie to advance. This isn't Footlocker or joses uncles landscaping company.. Maud likely is HR.

I have never had a job, I have never been employed in any capacity whatsoever, this makes me an expert on the machinations of business employment and human resource practices....
