Opettele pyytämään

/ My question was missing from the memo / Oh, sorry, it must’ve slipped past me -To do: fix the memo /
/ TOO BAD it won’t be added there /
/ Well? Aren’t you going to do anything about it -I don’t have motivation anymore. /

Titteli

nimike_n
/ About the title, would it be manager or director? Why leave it at that? Why not– /
/ Team Caliph. Wizard Supreme or Grand Poobah. Or just simply Queen- /
/ Department Admiral! Management Jedi! Maharadja! Capo! Doge! Mama Smurfette! -Well then I’m reserving Papa Smurf for myself! /

Kaksi eri asiaa

vouhkaus_n
/ Now that Valerie has new responsibilities we could update her title from secretary to manager. -Good idea! Put it on agenda! /
/ Also it’s a nice way to give her recognition… -Hey, a word with you. / I saw the new agenda. What is this frickin’ fuss about manager title?! /
/ Dear George… / It is a suggestion. Not fuss. /

Palkankorotus!

lakitekstiä_n
/ Here’s an appeal Jim prepared that you need to sign. I haven’t read it but there shouldn’t be any — / Haven’t read it? What are we paying you for? /
/ It’s legal text. You are not paying me ENOUGH. /

Puputoimiston pikapaluu! Tää keskustelu käytiin ja aattelin et puput sopii parhaiten sen kuvitukseksi 😀

Lopullinen ratkaisu

perkele_n
/ We’ve had group discussions, consulting, workplace healthcare briefing, we’ve given leash, we’ve tightened the leash and collected dozens of post it notes – but no! What do we do?! -Management by Perkele. Let’s outsource everything to Hell. /

For non-finnish speakers, Perkele is an oldish word referring to the Devil, as well as very useful curseword in finnish. Gives you an idea of the management style…

That’s all folks!
Puputoimisto kuittaa. Toistaiseksi. / Bunny office out. For now.

Tulkinnanvaraa

oikeus_n
/ Boss said legal department said that union said that the law says this! / Yeah right! Workplace steward said that the union said that precedent from 1995 said that the law says that! /
/ Justice is out there /

Remember remember the 5th of November, silloin ei oikeus(talot)kaan ole turvassa.

En tiä miks, mut mun mielestä oikeutta symboloiva sokea nainen, jolla on punnari ja miekka, on visuaalisesti todella hieno hahmo.

Epic fail

/ Investors will cut your budget by a third. HR takes up 70% of the money and directors fight among each other. What do you do? /
/ I’ll outsource accounting into a firm, I let go three people and start looking for a cheaper office space. I don’t have time to consult the board but surely I’ll get their retroactive approval. /
/ Right. Well, you’re in a hurry so you can’t use charisma bonus. Throw one die. /
/ And you threw one. That’s rollicking. /

Alkoholiohjeistus

hapanta_n
/ Remember to register for development weekend. Food and hot tub provided 🙂 / How about saturday night drinks? Wouldn’t it be fun to have some frosty? /
/ … / No /

Tossa kolmannessa ruudussa sielun silmissä vilisee ohi se filmi, jossa sun vanhempien ikäiset kollegat rällää ja perseilee ja sun pitäis vähän niinku olla vastuussa vuokratilan siisteydestä seuraavana aamuna. Kylmät väreet kiirii selkäpiissä. Halloween kalpenee.
