As you know, this requires very sensitive handling. If the employee is right you don't want the supervisor to lose face. Make it look as if you've given the supervisor information he didn't have before. So it's not a back down but an adjustment. In blatant cases of poor supervision maybe we need to be upfront and honest about it.
