Public shame?
He just never took me off. He said that he wouldn't, he didn't feel it would be right to do. He later threatened to do it (to keep me in line), but that dint' work. And, cause he's not good at/can't be bothered to deal with officey stuff, and in the past, it would have made him look bad, and he probably figured (rightly) I'd have fought him tooth and nail on it. Now, I think it's just he hasn't bothered/doesn't care yet.
I obviously wouldn't argue if he took me off now, but I'm gonna use it while it's still there.
