I have noticed that recently most of the posts are saying that it was UNY's boss, but when I checked out the OP, I saw that the request was coming from UNY's boss' boss.
In most of the jobs I've had, or in most of the fields I've worked, there has always been a chain-of-command.....: I would go to my boss; who would then go to his/her boss; who in turn would go to his/her boss; ad infinitum.....
The same could be said in reverse.....my boss would come to me; his/her boss would come to him/her (my boss); who would then come to me (or to someone else, because my boss would know if I was already working on a project with someone else already). In other words, I would take instructions/orders from my boss, not from my boss' boss (always staying within the good ole pecking order.
Course, this was all quite a while ago; things could have changed a lot since then.....
