Things you want to say to employees but can't because you're professional...

Robey

Partly as a bit of fun, but mostly as an opportunity to vent...

Employee: "So what's my motivation for getting up at 5am to be on site for 7am?"

What I wanted to say: "Keeping your f-ing job? The fact that we pay you a salary far in excess of what your meagre skillset, dubious intelligence and questionable competence deserves?"

What I actually said: "Your professional pride in the delivery of an excellent service that our clients appreciate."

  • At a previous job I was constantly having to bang on about social media policy. I bit my tongue so many times. There was one individual who just didn't get it, much to the despair of his colleagues who had to help him in the numerous sessions we did. Once we all got made redundant I took great pleasure in telling him to "foxtrot Oscar" on Facebook. My most liked comment to date.

    Ah yes that reminds me! I admin a large facebook group and there's frequently HR related questions on there. Given I'm not acting in a professional capacity it's quite nice to say what I really think sometimes ;) And it gives a good insight into some of the bizarre things people think about HR too!
