Seeing yesterday's episode reminded me of this poem I saw some time ago :D
When I Take a long time to finish,
I am slow,
When my boss takes a long time,
he is thorough
When I don't do it,
I am lazy,
When my boss does not do it,
he is busy,
When I do something without being told,
I am trying to
be smart,
When my boss does the same,
he takes the initiative,
When I please my boss,
I am apple polishing,
When my boss pleases his boss,
he is cooperating,
When I make a mistake,
you're an idiot.
When my boss makes a mistake,
he's only human.
When I am out of the office,
I am wandering around.
When my boss is out of the office,
he's on business.
When I am on a day off sick,
I am always sick.
When my boss is a day off sick,
he must be very ill.
When I apply for leave,
I must be going for an
interview
When my boss applies for leave,
it's because he's
overworked
When I do good,
my boss never remembers,
When I do wrong,
he never forgets...😆
- The boss never makes blunders - he only takes calculated risks (that backfire)!
- The boss never gossips - he keeps himself informed.
- The boss never plays politics - he contributes to the organizational restructuring.
- The boss does not misuse official machinery - he only makes use of facilities befitting his status in the organization.
- The boss never brags - he is just sharing his accumulated wisdom for the benefit of others.
- The boss never plays favouritism - he only rewards the virtue of loyalty.
- The boss is not a Yes-man to his higher ups - he believes in the power of positive thinking.
- The boss never lies - he only airs his presumptions.
- The boss never engages in monologs - he only conducts meetings. The boss never passes the bug - he delegates!
- The boss never quotes wrong figures - he is only sharing statistics that may have a larger margin of errors
- The boss is not without work - he conducts meetings.
- The boss is not on a holiday mood - he is visiting branch offices for supervision
- The boss never thwarts your promotion - he is only pruning the administrative expenditure
- The boss never takes the credit for everything - he is only shouldering the responsibility of his team.
- The boss is never fired - only his services are needed elsewhere!
