Yeah, don't believe this at all. Reads like some dream sequence someone had. Even the dumbest managers wouldn't say something this stupid, they all know this is a trip right to HR.

    Consider yourself lucky then.

    I have absolutely met managers this dumb. I had a manager quote me in an email reply, with what was quoted in the same email chain and included with the other replies, then forward it (still including all the replies!) claiming that he "rescued" me from a client incident because I didnt reply.

    With the reply from me just two emails below.

    Yes, there are absolute idiots in management who would 100% reply with this.

    When I was a manager, I refused to discuss another employee with their coworker. If you want a raise, tell me why you deserve a raise for what you do. And I was very careful to only put established company policy in writing, everything else was "let's circle back to that in person when we're both at the office."
