Sue says:
When the boss says 'The meeting will begin with a corporate presentation on the New Direction...she means...'H.Q. have devised a video presentation aimed at brainwashing front line drones into doing two jobs for the price of one'. Lower your eyes off the video to avoid the possibility of organisational mind contamination. If you become a clone your nothing.

Graham says:
In my last job, whenever we where asked to talk about something or try and promote an idea we had to 'wax lyrical'.
If another person ever says that to me again, i'll use 'out of the box' thinking to tell them where to go.

S Henderson says:
The most abstract one I've ever heard was "Let's leave that idea on the hillside overnight and we'll have a look at the teeth marks in the morning"
"Singing from the same hymn sheet" and "There's no I in team" are ones I hear most often.

Without a doubt "lets touch base" and "lets touch base online". This was a favorite of a boss about 20 years ago he was a real p**t. I cant believe that its still around.

Dodger says:
I understood my last boss completely he was a bent crafty nasty git who eventually stitched up all of his employees. Closed the business after seceral months of planning and the staff got nothing. They say what goes around comes around I hope that it does for him.
