Meeting The Boss Prints

"Remember, this is my boss. Behave and don't go grooming yourself in the middle of a conversation."

'Do you think, perhaps, that we could start shooting for a few longer-term goals around here?'

"Remember the golden rule: more buzzwords, less real words."

"Is this to make me feel bad for not getting you that laptop?"

"So what kind of mood is he in?"

'You forget, I'm a blackbelt in powerpoint.'

"Miracles happen, gentlemen, but they don't come cheap."

'What sort of mission statement is that?'

'It's a chart of office morale. This is where you went on vacation.'

I'm looking for employees who have their own unique way of seeing things my way.

"I'm afraid 'It's a surprise', doesn't cut it as a growth strategy."

'You could be a constant inspiration for us to come up with a plan to get a leg up on our competition...you're hired!'

"Staff support"

"I was just going to say, 'Well, I don't make the rules.' But, of course, I do make the rules."

'That's our mission statement.'

"No, I didn't steal your content. I just have your content's doppleganger."

"It's clear to me that you want to go far with this company."

"How's everybody doing? I'm not boring you, am I?"

'Ok, I'm in a paperwork mood. Let 'er rip.'

'Yes, I know there's a deadline on this project.'

"Why can't the rest of you be more like Rollins, here? He does his homework!"

"Shall we start with an icebreaker?"

'Don't think of it as being a yes man, think of it as being an employed man.'

'It has come to my attention that we need to hedge against our five-year plan.'

Boss's Desk Says No!

"We're experienced an extraordinary amount of growth this year."

"I think I'll be late back for tea. . . about a week."

"Don't forget to leave me a wakeup call so I can get the worm!"

'Let me worry about the one percent inspiration, you just take care of the 99 percent perspiration.'

'AT&T? I'm letting you go. I'm down-sizing too!'

Golfing Boss

Bo're'droom

"He's not really much of a leader...he just has a lot of followers."

'I like the way you handle responsibility, McWit, so I'm going to blame some stuff on you.'

'I've learned a lot about myself at these meetings...like, I can fall asleep with my eyes open!'
