Reading Between the Company Lines


Why aren't Senior Management more honest about their real messages?

"Are YOU hungry enough?"
Translation: "I really need my bonus this year. I don't dare go home if I don't get her a new BMW5 4WD for Christmas."

"We need to increase productivity"
Translation: "We can replace you with someone from a country with no labour laws.

"Be more efficient with your time"
Translation: "Don't even think about claiming over-time....your reward is you get to keep your job.

"Do more with less"
Translation: "We've just cut your advertising budget and increased your sales target so there is no way you will meet your job objectives. You can kiss that skinny bonus goodbye."
