I'm not really sure what constitutes flying circles around me, but I agree when someone tells you how wonderful they are, usually it's quite the contrary. For example, from now on I'm going to tell everyone how good my grammar and spelling qualities are....lol.
If a manager has to come out with threats after someone else uses humor to pleasantly distract us from the tenacious age 65 challenges that lay ahead, then maybe that manager would do better managing widgits as opposed to people. People skills motivate people to use their skills, skillfully.
This reminds me of a couple jerks I flew with recently. Both of their briefings started with, "Most importantly, when we fly together let's have fun". If you hear that from your flying partner, plan on a long day with an imbecile and a slam-click layover.
"So I've been a horse's butt to you for the last 9 hours, you want to go out and have a few beers. Maybe I can tell you how I flew circles around you all day".
That sounds wonderful...I'll meet you in the lobby, make sure you wear your white sneakers.
Happy Holidays,
FF

It was funny and very tame but I seem to have offended the powers that be. So if you don't ever hear from me again tell the world my story.
