I know about being a threat and in at least one major case I was an imaginary threat. After many years of being held down, not being allowed to move around or apparently leave (screwed on reference) plus getting the one off fairy tale that I would be getting something some day actually turned me into a real one.

After I had gotten my typical very good review (not good enough apparently for a raise/promotion that others had gotten), I sent a long letter to phb upstairs detailing everything I did that the others didn’t do or as well plus my other skill sets no one else had.

That didn’t get anything. The next morning I tracked him down for a face to face. He commented that he read it and after point blank asking one last time, he said he’d consider it.

I said I was going to sue a certain SC state agency and him with it when I said the magic words “veteran status”. Mr macho phb almost had a seizure and in near panic asked me not to and didn’t mean to make me angry. I said a lot of other relevant things.

I did get what I wanted and I guess as part of some damage control, others in my grade in two departments were upgraded as well.

I later left for another job paying a little more. I guess I got that good reference after all...
