          For those of us that have been in the work force for a number of years, I am sure can identify with some of the funny catch phrases bosses use with their employees.  Below are some of the catch phrases I have gathered from Bosses during my working career. 

 

·        “Don’t believe everything you read.”

 

Disregard the Boss’s last memo about quality assurance.

 

·        “Don’t give up too easily.”

 

The Boss wants his entire office staff to work tonight figuring out how to bring down the cost of office supplies.  Maybe fewer pencils are in order.

 

·        “I’d like your opinion.”

 

The Boss doesn’t want to know your opinion so your opinion on the best way to fry Twinkies will be a suitable substitute answer.

 

·        “Let’s talk about priorities.”

 

The Boss doesn’t care about priorities; he wants to know who is in the latest issue of “Sports Illustrated” that is sitting on your desk.

 

·        “We might have a potential problem.”

 

Overtime will be required of everyone for the next two months.

 

·        “We need to use cathedral thinking?”

 

The Boss will be out of town on vacation the next several days while the office staff tries to meet the up coming product deadline.  Cathedral thinking is how the Boss avoided work.

 

·         You need to multi task.”

 

The Boss wants you and your co-workers to work overtime this weekend.
