7 Other Things Never to Say to Your Boss

Came across an article today titled, “7 Things Never to Say to Your Boss“. Good tips for the newbie, the veteran, or anyone who may be unfiltered and is known to on occasion mumble, “did I say that out loud?”

It got me thinking about some of the things I’ve considered saying, but never did. OK, truth be told, I may have let one or two of these bad boys rip at one time or another, but I definitely think they belong on the list of “7 Other Things Never to Say to Your Boss”. I bet you’ll agree:

  1. “This place makes money in spite of itself.”
  2. “I’m sorry, what did you say – I dozed off while you were talking.”
  3. Google can’t answer all of your questions – that’s why you hired me.”
  4. “If assholes could fly, this place would be an airport.”
  5. “I’ve never met anyone who could talk so much but say so little.”
  6. “You must have some really good pictures of ___________ stashed away.”
  7. “You can actually hear an echo from the leadership void.”

I beg to differ…I think I’ve heard at least four out of your mouth in one meeting :)
