re: My boss told a colleague to stop saying “no problem.”

"You're welcome" just feels uptight. What does it even mean? What am I welcoming you to? Is it maybe "you're welcome to ask me for this again"? It's just a socially agreed upon response to "thank you"
"No problem" is just more relaxed and straightforward.

When somebody says "thank you," the correct response is "you're welcome."

The correct response is “ No, Thank You!

I wouldn't lose it over this but I agree with bossman. Just say "You're welcome". It is the correct response. "No problem" is just lazy. But I'm 60 yo so what do I know.

It's all good.

I had no idea there were so many people triggered by “no problem” until this thread.
The shite that people let bother them is hilarious

for our boss. After boss man thanked him, he said no problem and my boss lost it, saying that is an unacceptable expression. He continued to say that insinuates that there was a problem in the past with something.
It's an informal response, but this type of reaction to it only comes from an insecure idiot 100% of the time.

Say "cool beams." Boss will love it.

Had a guy correct me and say “to be frank” he was terrible at his job and got fired which made me smile although before that he fired me. F that dude to be perfectly honest.

Where the frick did he hear that from? Saying "no problem" simply suggest that it wasn't a problem. And it not being a problem doesn't suggest there was once a problem. Boss sounds like a fricking moron.

Boss man is a an a-hole and shouldn’t be in a position of authority if he does something as stupid as losing his shite over a direct report saying “no problem”. At the least he needs to be at least demoted. Key words there “at least”.

Hope your buddy responded with “No problem”!

Boss have a service industry background? It’s a common rule of thumb in serving customers to not use the phrase.
Yep. Ruth’s Chris is big on this.

Sounds like boss man has done some customer service training with the Ritz Carlton. This is definitely a phrase you stay away from.
I know, sounds silly, but little things like this can make a huge difference in a customers experience.

It’s weirder to me to say “you’re welcome”
You are welcome comes from the old west when sporting girls would blow guys and the guy would thank them. It was originally you came well, but naturally you’re welcome sounded better

My pleasure.

The other day, my boss asked me if I had done something she asked me to do. I said I hadn’t gotten around to it. She said I shouldn’t say that and should instead say ‘it’s in my queue’.

Just say No Worries next time.
See that implies that there was a problem to begin with.
Saying no problem means that whatever you are asking me to do is not a problem/wasn’t a problem/wouldn’t be a problem in the future.

You have no idea the stress and pressure your boss is under. I suggest "your buddy" do what he's told.
Maybe his boss isn't cut out to be in charge.
