You don't need to be passive agressive either, you can just be polite and factual.

    Well put. My boss had been polite and factual when she gets "angry".

    Exactly. I've worked under terrible managers and some great ones. Great ones get pissed off but they never, ever try and let emotions out. They were all to the point and knew what worked for every guy.

    Is she impolite when she is not angry?

    No, not at all. I appreciate that of her. She doesn't even look scary when I'm being told off. Which is why I put the word angry in quotation marks. She tries to sound angry and look scary but we kind of brush it off. Not that I didn't respect her authority.
