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."

  • "It isn't my decision that you can't wear shorts in the non-airconditioned, non-client facing office with an otherwise very modern attitude to things. I really want to wear them too. I'm sweating like (some vaguely offensive analogy) in my corner of the office. It is the out of touch directors that work from home 3 days per week who aren't letting you. By the way, just wear a skirt. It would be illegal to stop you."

    But it comes out of my mouth as:
    "There are office standards that needed to be upheld and they are laid out in the HR Handbook"

    Although I have mentioned the skirt thing to the gents, no one has taken it on just yet.

    I'm definitely contemplating a kilt in the current weather. Some pretty natty designs out there, these days!
