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."

  • I remember once having to console a manager who wanted to drop to working three days a week but didn't want to have his wages pro rata to £90k !! having to listen and be empathic to him telling me that he couldn't afford to live on £90k!!

    What i wanted to say "Are you for real most of us have to live on a third of that!!" what i said was "well we all have to learn to live within our means"
