Things You'd Love to Say Out Loud at Work


1. I can see your point, but I still think you're full of crap.

2. I don't know what your problem is, but I'll bet it's hard to pronounce.

3. How about never? Is never good for you?

4. I see you've set aside this special time to humiliate yourself in public.

5. I'm really easy to get along with once you people learn to see it my way.

6. I'll try being nicer if you'll try being smarter.

7. I'm out of my mind, but feel free to leave a message.

8. I don't work here. I'm a consultant.

9. It sounds like English, but I can't understand a damn word you're saying.

10. Ahhh...I see the screw-up fairy has visited us again...

11. I like you. You remind me of myself when I was young and stupid.

12. You are validating my inherent mistrust of strangers.

13. I have plenty of talent and vision; I just don't give a damn.

14. I'm already visualizing the duct tape over your mouth.

15. I will always cherish the initial misconceptions I had about you.

16. Thank you. We're all refreshed and challenged by your unique point of view.

17. The fact that no one understands you doesn't mean you're an artist.

18. Any connection between your reality and mine is purely coincidental.

19. What am I? Flypaper for freaks!

20. I'm not being rude. You're just insignificant.

21. It's a thankless job, but I've got a lot of Karma to burn off.

22. Yes, I am an agent of Satan, but my duties are largely ceremonial.

23. And your crybaby whiny-assed opinion would be...?

24. Do I look like a people person?

25. This isn't an office. It's Hell with fluorescent lighting.

26. I started out with nothing &still have most of it left.

27. Sarcasm is just one more service we offer.

28. If I throw a stick, will you leave?

29. Errors have been made. Others will be blamed.

30. Whatever kind of look you were going for, you missed.

31. I'm trying to imagine you with a personality.

32. A cubicle is just a padded cell without a door.

33. Can I trade this job for what's behind door #1?

34. Too many freaks, not enough circuses.

35. Nice perfume. Must you marinate in it?

36. Chaos, panic, & disorder - my work here is done.

37. How do I set a laser printer to stun?

38. I thought I wanted a career; turns out I just wanted a salary.

39. Who lit the fuse on your tampon?

40. Oh I get it... like humor... but different.

I had my job eliminated last year, when a new sales manager took control of our group, a ten man group of regional VP's like myself. He pissed off everyone, when in his introductory meeting, he trashed our boss (the guy he was replacing), and generally tried to intimidate us.

I was later asked to write an exit interview letter. Here are a few paragraphs from that letter. I was later emailed from a person in Human Resources who let me know it would definitely be passed "up the line" within my group.



New Guy Manager had some pretty strong doubts about his abilities to get the job done, and those misgivings manifested themselves in the way he addressed our group. He had no interest in winning over any of the people he was about to supervise, but instead elected to assert himself with a petulant and oafish display of power.  In a word, he looked small. Public macho posturing and putting down a manager you just demoted (in front of friends and subordinates), says much more about the level of character and skill sets you bring to the table, than it does about the person you’ve tried to humiliate, or the group’s weaknesses that you think needs to be changed. What it said about NGM was that like so many managers in American corporate culture today, he made the often repeated mistake of confusing authority with leadership.

The title on a person’s business card doesn’t confer the leadership skills required to bring a struggling group together, motivate them, and then lead them to a successful turnaround in their day to day business operations. As long as companies like Big Ass Bank continue to emphasize hiring managers, as opposed to seeking out real leaders, the environment will never improve.

NGM doesn’t inspire trust or loyalty, and in fact inspires quite the opposite. He comes off as a self absorbed, run of the mill “careerist,” who would never put his team members ahead of himself, and would do whatever is most expedient to advance himself. He’s unable to laugh at himself, which also became apparent in our initial meetings, after taking one or two mild “ribbings” by a regional sales manager....

Second, that New Guy Manager's boss surprised us all in hiring someone like NGM. Most executives, after being promoted to a higher position within an organization (and staying at that same organization), will pick their replacement by “hiring up,” i.e. hiring a replacement with greater skills than they had, in an effort to take that  organization to the next level. That certainly didn’t occur when NGM was hired, and in fact I would think his presence over the long term will demoralize those he manages and weaken efforts to grow Big Ass Bank's sales distribution efforts going forward.



I really wish I had the chance to say all of this to the guy's face. One year later, their sales are in the toilet, and nearly everyone present at that meeting has either been run off or has resigned. The guy has essentially gutted the place, with no results to show for it. What an assclown.

4. I see you've set aside this special time to humiliate yourself in public. Not quite...exact phrase was "Wow, what an efficent job of fucking yourself"

6. I'll try being nicer if you'll try being smarter. Said that, word for word

7. I'm out of my mind, but feel free to leave a message. Almost... "I've been sane for a while now..thought I'd see what it was like on the other side of the coin"

8. I don't work here. I'm a consultant. More times than I can count

9. It sounds like English, but I can't understand a damn word you're saying. Yep, said that

11. I like you. You remind me of myself when I was young and stupid. Yep, used that

12. You are validating my inherent mistrust of strangers. Exact quote was "And you wonder why I don't trust people?"

13. I have plenty of talent and vision; I just don't give a damn. Yep, said that

14. I'm already visualizing the duct tape over your mouth. "I'm imagining myself in a calm place, with a calm peaceful pond in front of me...calmness abounds...and I'm currently calmly drowning you in the fucking pond" Yes, I've actually said that, to a former boss

15. I will always cherish the initial misconceptions I had about you. Actually, heh...never said that

16. Thank you. We're all refreshed and challenged by your unique point of view. Close... "What are you, fucking stupid?" was the closest I got..

17. The fact that no one understands you doesn't mean you're an artist. Never used that one..

18. Any connection between your reality and mine is purely coincidental. Close..."So, what's the weather like on your planet?"

19. What am I? Flypaper for freaks! Close... "Argh...why do they come to ME to die!" Actually said, to a former co-worker. He left shortly thereafter.

20. I'm not being rude. You're just insignificant. Yep, said it, to an exec vp no less. He and I wound up becoming drinking buddies when I worked in NYC. Awesome guy.

21. It's a thankless job, but I've got a lot of Karma to burn off. Close enough

22. Yes, I am an agent of Satan, but my duties are largely ceremonial. *snicker* More than once...

23. And your crybaby whiny-assed opinion would be...? Close.. "So, what's the master of fuckups think about our plan? Is there a way to fuck it up more efficently?" Note...HR hates it when you use that on them, trust me on this

24. Do I look like a people person? Oh, yah, almost daily.

25. This isn't an office. It's Hell with fluorescent lighting. Close enough... "Welcome to hell! The light flickers for effect...don't worry about it.

26. I started out with nothing &still have most of it left. Not yet...soon, though, heh.

27. Sarcasm is just one more service we offer. Not yet...but I can see it happening

28. If I throw a stick, will you leave? Not quite..the phrase I used was "Look, go light a candle or something that you're qualified to do, ok? Just..leave me alone, ok?

29. Errors have been made. Others will be blamed. "Dude, don't worry about it...we'll blame it on poor documentation" is an almost weekly utterance by me, no shit

30. Whatever kind of look you were going for, you missed. Haven't used it

31. I'm trying to imagine you with a personality. Haven't used it, either

32. A cubicle is just a padded cell without a door. Close... "Welcome to Cell Block E, or what management likes to call the Psycho Ward..."

33. Can I trade this job for what's behind door #1? Haven't used it, too proletrarian

34. Too many freaks, not enough circuses. Used once, to ill effect...fuckers had no sense of humor

35. Nice perfume. Must you marinate in it? Haven't had cause to say anything like that...tech guys don't wear cologne unless they're trying to piss off co-workers

36. Chaos, panic, & disorder - my work here is done. Very similar... "I have nude photos of the boss's secretary. I can do no wrong here."..and yes, I did

37. How do I set a laser printer to stun? Nah...not said

38. I thought I wanted a career; turns out I just wanted a salary. Close..."Hey, I'm only here for the money"

39. Who lit the fuse on your tampon? Yep! Used that one! And yah, she socked me for it. Expected.

I once had to fix a coworker's mess.  While struggling with it one afternoon, he dropped by to ask me how it was going.  I quietly informed him, "You must be great at kissing ass, because you're fucking worthless for anything else."

He loved it, and even told some of the other guys in the office.  Sadly, although I liked him as a conversationalist, I was not joking.
