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

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."

To every manager passing on unpopular decisions: - Do not preface what you are going to say with "HR SAYS!!!"

Lol, we often get this one with employees coming up to ask questions, we give them the answer usually accompanied by "but get your managers permission first" and then we get the manager call us/up in the office having a go because their employee said "HR said I could"....no that is not what we said, you've basically not listened to a word we said :) all good fun!
