OK, so here we have the case of a supervisor who doesn't like the shirt a subordinate is wearing, and apparently finds the shirt provocative; so he tells the subordinate not to wear the shirt. Whether the boss's judgment was correct or not, the boss told the subordinate not to wear the shirt.

I guess I was brought up in a different time, with a different work ethic. I always thought I was supposed to do what the boss wanted me to do, unless it was wrong. I knew a lot of fellow government employees who saw their own concerns as the supreme priority when they were working, but I never bought into that.

I always thought that Republicans thought it was a good thing, to do what the boss told you to do....unless disobeying the boss makes political hay, I guess.
