"I'm right and you're wrong."

[noob]

All of us, would have, at some point in their lives, have experienced the humiliation of having been put down by someone in a position of apparent (or actual) superiority, for the mere reason that they believe that their positions give them the right to act as they will. It should normally go as follows;

"You have no say in this matter, you will do as you are told or face the consequences. My decision is the only right one, and thus it stands."

Your thoughts on the matter?

being in the military, i encounter this all the time. just the other day, another marine of the same rank told me to do something that he could easily do, while he sat on his ass and texted his girlfriend. i got counseled for yelling at him, that he could do it.

he stuck with his "im in the right and you're wrong for questioning me just because ive been a CPL longer," which is total bull shit. Now im one step from getting yanked from my mert board because hes an ass-bag.

Go figure.

This is personally a problem for me when it comes to even my current boss. Just because someone is in a higher position doesn't make them right anymore than it makes them able to blow flames out of their belly button. Just at work yesterday my boss gave me a harsh lecture of why I'm not allowed to switch out with another server when they send him home, and me go instead. Then I was re-lectured today by my general manager about why I should have switched out this time. So its just like, whatever, a higher position doesn't make them right, it just makes them increasingly egotistical.
