"Don't you agree?.." ..... and other phrases used by your boss

[Mick Mac]

I like this one. It very much ensures that your views are important and its also important that your view is exactly the same as your bosses view. :)

Any other examples?

"There are going to be some changes here." Translation - We're making cuts and you're being made redundant before the year is out.

"I know it's annoying but i'm ALWAYS right"

&

"I measure my success in handbags"

along with....

"My husband doesn't speak - he's virtually autistic"

(tho when she wasn't around he was surprisingly fluent with conversation)

Add to that a nasally Kiwi accent & you'll see why I just-had-to get out of there.

A boss of mine from years ago once produced her wallet of me to show me pictures of her house and her car!!!!

"The house is my man, and the car's my baby!"

To her credit she laughed about this herself.

She was still a psycho though.

I can't authorise more money for you, only more work

There's nothing more cringeworthy than male, office-based managers and execs assuming a stern expression and impressing upon those beneath them how critical a situation is by using construction or mining-based terminology (sans c*nt and f*ck) i.e. - 'We're going to have to break ground and bore down to the root of the problem.'

"The money was just resting in my account!"

[uncleglen]

"Don't you agree?...." means 'I've got this idea, and it is brilliant and you are going to agree/it will be implemented/ whether you like it or not...' (or your life will be made a misery for the foreseeable (subtext!))

My boss knows that I am much better than him at using a computer and he waits until the office is empty and then gets me to show him how to do stuff- I lurrrrve seeing him grovel for help

[KalamityKel]

"I have an idea" = you're not going to like it. I'll probably prove what an idiot I am and you were right all along... it wasn't a good idea at all.

[Loz]

"we'll take that offline" - I'm putting that issue aside for a while. Like permanently.

[KidKruger]

"Let's take that offline" = I haven't the balls to cover that now with you in front of everyone cos it'll be obvious that I know SFA and I'm full of BS.

The clue's in "office-based". Otherwise I wouldn't be in much of a position to comment. What's with the Xs?
