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."

    "We appreciate you as an employee and a person and will continue to support you through your challenges with anxiety and PTSD."

    But I really wanted to add that her partner is a manipulative, gaslighting waste of space and her therapy will be so much more effective if he wasn't holding her back in life. He said her panic attack over one of her PTSD triggers was for attention over the weekend and I had to bite my lip so hard during a catch up with her.
