An employee expresses concern over their boss's aggressive driving behavior, fearing it could lead to dangerous situations during client visits. The advice suggests creating a plausible excuse to drive separately, emphasizing the need for personal safety and mental health. If resistance occurs, it is recommended to report the behavior to HR, framing it as a workplace safety issue. The interaction highlights the challenges of dealing with difficult bosses in professional settings, especially regarding safety concerns.
He sounds like a peach. (Major eyeroll here.) And also, what is it with bosses who drive like idiots?! When I answered a similar question a few months ago, my advice was to invent a little white lie for your boss-to wit, that you were in a close call over the weekend when someone else was driving, and you now have PTSD about letting someone else drive.
From now on, then, you'll be driving your own car to see clients, and he is welcome (or not!) to come with you. I would frame this as something that you're not willing to budge on, and if he continues to give you grief about this, I would raise it with HR as a workplace safety and mental health issue.
