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."

  • Can I just say a huge thank you to Robey for the creation of this post. It just so happened to appear on a day in July 2018 when I was seriously questioning my role in HR because I had just about had enough!! But this made me realise that we all struggle with infuriating employees and it didn't necessarily mean that I was bad at my job (after all, I never actually SAID the things I wanted to!) I still enjoy reading through all the things we would love to say if we could :-) So thanks again Robey!

    I'll second that thanks, these notifications often pop up on tough days and it reminds me that we all have to deal with a whole lot of daft people and situations yet remain professional and calm as HR people !
