A fellow 80+, a ‘respected’ volunteer.
He persistently and intentionally places me between himself and others to ‘adjust’ their perceptions.
He expects (and gets) my confidentiality. But! It’s aggravating and confusing to him, when I bring those parties into the conversation.
His way of conferring trust and in some cultural sense say “We” versus “Them.”
Well, I’m with them.
It’s passive aggressive & manipulative. Setting others to blame.
Yeah, he was a manager in tech.
