These seems more like a tactic you’d use at a big corporation since everyone has a boss above them. At a small clinic like this, it’s probably fruitless as the stubborn owner isn’t going to stop being stubborn over an email and documentation.
read the OP. There’s owners above the boss. The owner isn’t stubborn, the boss is. They are different people.
If his boss is wasting money/putting their business at risk, they will care.
regardless, the entire point of this has nothing to do with bosses, and more of disentangling OP from this mess. It looks like it’s his pet project, when it should be the other employee’s request / issue.
That’s the whole point. It’s not about a paper trail (though that helps). It’s not even about convincing his boss about this. It’s him dealing with a problem below him and covering his ass. If his boss says no, great! He’s done all he can.
So far, he hasn’t done the first step, which is get shit in writing.
