My colleague(Blow My own trumpet one-BMOTO) Yesterday come up to me and look with those "I know so much better" expression and asks ina conspiratorial tone!
BMOTO: What do you er think of new boss?
Me: Huh? We met him what 4-5 times? I have no comment on him. Loads to see
BMOTO:I have this knack and with some people my mind shows a red flag!
Me: So you saying this new boss has raised red flags in your mind? * looks expressionless*
BMOTO: Yeah a big one!
Me: I will reserve my judgement !
Well this is pure office politics! I dont like to get involved!
Anyone who likes my "ex" boss is a jerk because he was a jerk and BMOTO was his fav so...!!

Office politics is the devil in disguise. Total utter bollocks.
