Or, you can do what I did when an evil manager tried to do this to me: tell the new hire what’s going on, work as a team to do a great job for your customers while turning them against management, then use managements opposition to all your great work together to get said management fired.

Okay, I'm with you so far.

Then draw the rest of the fucking owl? How did you do this?

I'm guessing you were somewhere relatively large. I knew someone who got replaced like this and it was a small enough company that I don't think this could have been done because there was no layer of management between them and the top dog doing this to them.

Oh, and no one above that guy either. He was the owner of the business.

Yeah, this only works if you can play some higher than your boss against your boss. You’re screwed if it’s a smaller place or the CEO or someone like that is directly doing this to you.

why would customers turn against management if you did a great job for them?

[bugglebeetle]

Turned the new co-worker against management, not the customers. Apologies for the confusion.
