If I hear another Mfer talk about bandwidth....

"And, yeah, to piggyback off what _________ said..."


"You're not getting a raise."

" behind the scenes " ... from a few of the vp's and the president of the supply chain division. I absolutely hate the idea that they think this gives the impression that they are hard at work.

I'm about to go to a staff meeting. Make this an In game thread?

All you have to do is put a bunch of shite on your desk and kind of spread it around so you look really busy then avoid making eye contact and you won't be talked to for most of the day

"as per..."

"micro manager/ing"

Seriously I think every employee says this about a manager incorrectly

"Keep up the good work."

I don't work in an office where much stupidity occurs, but the phrase I dread is "grab a pad and swing by."

It isn't terrible or anything, it just means 30 minutes of talking about something I could be doing.
