better still: tell another colleague and ask him/her to relay the message to your subordinate. - I've seen this more times than I care to count, and it pisses me off that my Thai boss is a coward to step up to me or a colleague face to face and say what bugs her. more than once, if it is a serious or uncomfortable issue, we have told her that if she has a problem, she should deal with it personally. - I know I am in Thailand and I should be the one to adapt, but I do it in many other ways. I just refuse to sort things out for someone else who is supposed to be in charge and manage 8 other people.
