Your check is in the mail for the inappropriate use of the framework; however, Team Building is For Suckers, Inc., is in negotiations to acquire badconsultant, LLC.

Now that I think about it, I’ll hold off on sending the check and you can just bill my cost center after the acquisition is complete.

Christ. I hate people who don’t understand that every waking moment of the day doesn’t need to be dedicated to the act of traditional work.

Scarlett – You hit the nail on the head.

A manager complained to me yesterday that her employee was texting on her cell phone at work. I said, “Does she get her work done? Yes? Then who gives a crap?” This isn’t kindergarten people!! Stop micromanaging already.

Amen, Scarlett.

I’m making those employee handbooks as we speak.

When you publish that handbook, I need 47 copies!

There are people in my office who think I am some kind rule enforcing maniac when in truth I hate the rules. I would like for everyone to not be assholes, work hard so we can achieve our objectives and therefore be proud and get big bonuses. I could care less who takes 4 breaks a day or wears flip-flops if they get their shit done but the don’t and then I have listen to the yelling in the management meeting.
