If I were a manager...

Several things that came to mind today that I would love to have the power and authority to get away with saying. Why yes, I am in one of those moods.


 You are a slob. Clean up your desk and put the trash and food items away. Your desk is not your locker.

 Try working some follow ups some time. You might find you like it. If not, you might find you don’t have a job.

 Working your follow ups does not involve stating “reviewed” and pushing them out another two days.

 Shut the fuck up. Your Holier Then Thou attitude has no place here.

 Try some deodorant. No, really, try some.

 Turn down the music. If it can be heard two cubes over and three down, it might be too loud.

 You are a week behind in your work. Perhaps it is best that you don’t surf the internet for home design ideas right now.

 Before you ask how it’s done, try reading the protocols.

 Legal documents are not placemats.

 Do not glare at fellow employees who have chosen not to “voluntarily” donate money to a charity for the right to wear jeans.

 60% > 50%, really it is.

 All those little letters and numbers are important when listing legal case names and numbers.


And this is why I will never be a manager.

Edit: Forgot one.

But I say these things to my report all the time and this person thinks I'm the best manager in the world.

Really she does. ;)

Yeah, but think of the source. :)

This is why I will never be granted power.

It's for the best, really. Or so they say.

P.S. - You totally know each and every person each point is about, don't you?

I see Yak Boy, Captain Volunteer, Jeebus Girl, and Khaki-Sneaker Man.

Which one is Yak Boy - is he the one I call Ferret Man or, alternately, Rabbit Boy (seriously, look at the way he stands up in his cube and sniffs people out)? The one who's a pack rat to end all pack rats.

Wow....

I can't believe I know these people.
