Have you heard that one before? I have sat on committees, some being volunteer organizations. I or another person brings up concerns about what the head of the committee is doing then I get this....... "if you want this position, you can have it, I'll be glad to give it up to you....."

Bogus comment. If you say no, he looks like the good guy because he is making or supposedly making the big sacrifice for the organization. If you say yes....you look like the bad buy.

It's a setup. it's a no win comment.

So... you back down when others dare you to call their bluff? I'm having a poker game next week if you would like to drop by.

Maybe he's just tired of chronic fucking whiners.  You know the type.

The correct answer is:

"No, I don't want your job.  I just want you to stop being stupid."  

You may need to polish that response a bit before using it.

“We just want you to get your priorities straight, your job should be number one and only priority.”

Previous manager, after using PTO because my grandpa was critically injured and later passed away… That line will always be remembered, nothing else could ever be more asinine comment then that.

The first year we were married, my wife's boss at Citicorp told her there are four working days between Friday night and Monday morning.  She quit not long after that leadership.

I am confused by that line, is her previous boss retarded? I see two days at most… Oh and I didn’t agree with my boss, he fired me that same day.
