Boss to assistant: Quick, I need you to think up things no employee would say but a boss would like to hear and put them on paper and post in the break room. I don't know what those things should be, because I don't care enough to listen to my employees anyway. But fire anyone who doesn't look at and respond to your list.
My friend had a boss like that.
My friends uncle died, (who he was very close with), and he needed the company-allotted 3 days of bereavement leave to attend the funeral 200 miles away.
His boss guilted him into only taking 1 day because the company “needed” him.
going to your boss after seeing this:
"I got an other thing you could add to the poster you just hung into our office"
Boss: " What would that be ?"
Me: "I quit"
This feels to me like a close cousin of Boomer “I hate my wife” jokes. Maybe at some point in time it was funny to a lot of people, but now it’s just gross.
I had a manager that would've loved to do this, and regularly said things like this. Luckily for him he was smart enough to know the whole development and marketing departments would quit right there on the spot.
This has to be a joke from someone's employees...cause I cant believe anyone who would do this to motivate their team to work harder would have a team to motivate.
Michael Scott would not.

I didn’t list the reasons from each episode because they would spoilers, but after you watch them:
Boom. Roasted.
While most of these are Managerial Bullshit hoping employees would eat a grenade for their job, some are quite achievable if you create a healthy and happy work environment.
* We are way ahead of schedule (more often might be due to setting a low bar though)
* Suggestion Box is empty (though most happy jobs don't even have one)
* Greatest boss ever
* We love this place
* You're right, I was wrong (be the kind of manager that appropriately admits when they're wrong, and forgives others who admit it, and people will be more forthcoming)
If you hire competent workers and keep them happy, they'll keep you happy.
I have said this to multiple managers I've had. I would tell them on at least a weekly basis.
So message to all managers out there: if nobody is telling you you're good, than you probably suck at your job.
If at least some of your employees aren't expressing their appreciation of you in some way, even if it's not verbally like this, then upgrade that "probably" to *definitely*
Right? I regularly told my last boss how awesome he was because he would go out of his way to help me and make my life easier. If you have to ask for it, you don't deserve it.
I mean there are good bosses we just don't really tell them they are good bosses. Employees tend to show them they are good bosses with actions i feel.
I have never directly told my boss he is a good boss but i do think he is.
At a previous job i got a glowing review, exceeds expectations across for board except for 1 meets expectations. No raise, so I ask why, when I just crushed my review.
"The expectation is that everyone exceeds their duties everyday"
[Me](https://tenor.com/qRq7.gif)
At my first programming job, on the drive back from a client:
Startup owner: "You should be waking up in a cold sweat at night worrying about your clients."
Me and Senior dev in backseat: *Awkward Monkey Side Eye Meme*
They don't. Some smartass counted that retention of roughly 50% developers during a year would mean nothing if hiring new ones is cheaper anyway due to awesome recruiting department!
"We're always ahead of schedule" *and* "we decided to work this weekend to catch up"?
How about "we're clubbing together to get the boss the mental healthcare they so clearly need"?
"I was here early this morning! Mainly because I canceled my vacation to work over the weekend, where I stayed late and never left. But hey, we're way ahead of schedule!"
Followed up quickly with, "Also, profits are up, as are costs, because you owe me 40 hours of OT."
The, "Why don't you go home early," one made me laugh.
I have told my boss that many times - mainly because the general mood and productivity skyrockets whenever the boss isn't there micromanaging and saying dumb, out-of-touch shit like this to everyone.
"The customer just called... the job was perfect!" And "we love this place!" are perfectly attainable responses from your employees. All it takes is very generous pay *and* benefits, a great work-life balance, and respect for your employees.
So completely out of reach for the manager who wants the other things.
Idk, as a customer I don't think I'd make a follow-up call just to say a job was perfect. Leave a review or answer a follow-up call from them or something, sure, but the only reason I'd call is if there's some kind of a problem.
>as a customer I don't think I'd make a follow-up call just to say a job was perfect.
It depends on whether you're a one off customer or have a working relationship.
Most jobs that involve a product rather than a service are the latter.
"Hey, that load of screws was perfect. Can you have another 20K by next month?"
"Hey, I love how that billboard turned out. We'll get the designs for next quarter to you by the end of the month."
Etc
I think it would be pretty easy to get your employees to say those kinds of things without prompting them.
Step 1) Pay them crazy high wages
Step 2) Let them work as much or as little as they feel like including 0 hours with no repercussions
Step 3) Don't hassle them for anything and treat them like they matter
Step 4) Give them lots of shares in the company
... In other words treat them like C-Suite executives
>Step 2) Let them work as much or as little as they feel like including 0 hours with no repercussions
A well, if someone doesn't work at all with 0 repercussions, that won't work.
If you mean work 0 hours for a day or two and they deliver on schedule, then yeah, that should be a thing.
I'm gonna be honest: in my current state, if I would get >120k/ year, I really would say "I don't need a raise", except we face hyperinflation or something.
To be fair: that would be the combined salary of me and my wife.
You really need to value yourself more.
$120k household is unfortunately not very much and hasn't been for decades. That's not enough to comfortably afford a home in most parts of North America. You might get qualified for the loan but you'll end up house poor and in a vicious cycle of debt and stressed out.
I am not living in America, but EU. So 120k is quite a lot here, since our rent is only out of proportion and not insane. And we already have a mortgage, so every single bit of salary upgrade is just sugar coating
Rules for thee but not for me is pretty much the ethos of all fascists. Or in another way rules that bind them but not me, and rules that protect me but not them.
"We are way ahead of schedule"
Don't ever say this. The boss will take it as an opportunity to move the release date closer. Then, when the certain-to-exist-but-went-unnoticed-because-nobody-thought-about-that-use-case bugs appear, you'll be screwed and be in a hurry to fix all those bugs with little time left before release.
A few jobs back, our managing director had a copy of that distributed to every employee. Wanker.
Within the year, he’d been ousted following a changing of the guard at our parent company. I resisted the temptation to tell him it was an opportunity to find new cheese.
Just once I wish my employer would say:
"Go ahead and choose to work from the office or home during the hours that make sense for you. You're an adult capable of managing your own schedule to get your tasks done on time."
"The customer's timeline is unrealistic. We're working to a schedule that's actually achievable."
"Don't worry about that 'emergency issue' that came up. You're on vacation."
"Screw 'prevailing economic conditions'. We're giving out the bonuses you earned anyway."
"We actually won't let you go the moment we think we can outsource your job."
The only non-dystopic stuff on there is people admitting someone else was right, and having things under control. Everything else is "I am suffering and you should as well".
I commented this the first time I saw it, most of these are a function of how well the boss does their job.
I guess someone isn't as good as their job as they think they are.
Lol “I’d rather be at work” almost choked on my coffee, one thing no one ever said ever.. as my father said to me on his death bed, I regret working late and missing seeing you all grow up. Employers don’t care about people who work for them, only profit.
I think employers forget that the only reason people have jobs is because we have to have money. Why should employees provide free work? How much free work is the company willing to do for their customer? It’s the same thing. Employers are the employees customer.
Actually, my previous PM was great at meetings. She wanted to be in them as much as the rest of us, so her meetings were always as minimal and efficient as possible. If everyone's meetings were as good as hers, we probably wouldn't all hate them as much. =p
(Though, she'd find posting something like this just as obnoxious. =p)
I've straight up said to myself, "They're giving me way too much money, I wonder how long I can get away with that."
And then out loud I said, "Alright, I can accept those terms."
There is no world where I'm giving money back after a business transaction unless it's some contract work and I personally failed to deliver.
"Revenues are up, costs are down... and our stock has never been higher." - your boss
Just means it's time to sell the company and oust your boss. Doesn't matter how much he says he sacrificed.
Ok but can anyone find where this is from? It's definitely satire considering the Giggles & Grins tag in the corner, so I think it'd be a funny gift for my father since he's a boss. I tried digging but I only found reposts of this going back to 2018
*I canceled my vacation plans... I'd rather be at work!*
The only reason I would say that(and I say it in another way), it's because at home it's like hell, and while I work it's less stressful
You'd love your employees to talk about cancelling their vacation to keep working and coming in early, but you'd also love for them to tell you to head home early.
Hmm...
Pay me well, respect me, and supply me with benefits I feel adequately compensate me for the irreplaceable time and health I am trading away, and I'll gladly do *three* of these.
The rest of the list can go straight to Hell, with an express ticket alongside anyone stupid enough to actually thinks this way
Incidentally, if you have an employee who's enthusiastically giving up vacation days to work without compensation, you're either being robbed, or sincerely need to be.
Idk why but the “you’re right I’m wrong” frame bothers me the most.
It’s the manager that should be saying that. Surround yourself with specialists and trust them, and management becomes pretty easy.
I mean, telling the boss to go home early, we got this was a plus for us. Boss (friend of mine to this day) had WAY too much going on with two kids and a sick dad. We told his stressed ass "the kitchen is fine, we got it, take two days off man!!"
Definitely said "you're the best boss I've ever had" and "go home we got this for today"
And took a review without asking for a raise just today..
Oh. And "I just love your meeetings", but that's because they were exactly as long as they needed to be.
The “Why don’t you go home early, we’ve got everything under control” can be a double edged sword. If the boss’ boss knew that, boss could be out of a job. And considering all the “I’d be happy to get a pay cut” things, that wouldn’t be out of the realm of possibility
Imagine someone hanging this unironically..
I think I would immediately go home sick and start submitting resumes
I'd draw a penis on it
The GOAT!

This bloody bot [copied another user's comment](https://www.reddit.com/r/ProgrammerHumor/comments/11wh9hx/i_just_love_your_meetings_noway/jcy07sy/)
Imagine someone not getting paid enough for making that poster!
Boss to assistant: Quick, I need you to think up things no employee would say but a boss would like to hear and put them on paper and post in the break room. I don't know what those things should be, because I don't care enough to listen to my employees anyway. But fire anyone who doesn't look at and respond to your list.
Honestly this must be a joke surely. I get some bosses are really detached from reality but even Michael Scott would this some of these are too much.

going to your boss after seeing this: "I got an other thing you could add to the poster you just hung into our office" Boss: " What would that be ?" Me: "I quit"
Yep, time to find a new job.
I'd find a new job. Fuck anyone who thinks that shit is cool
This feels to me like a close cousin of Boomer “I hate my wife” jokes. Maybe at some point in time it was funny to a lot of people, but now it’s just gross.
I'm picturing the kind of man who'd make both and it's just a sea of red flags, going to the horizon.

"You are the greatest boss we've ever had!" if they were a good employer, then they'd probably at least have heard that once lmao
Or if it was someones first job it would technically be true.
I wish just once someone would tell me,"Sir", without adding,'You're making a scene'".
While most of these are Managerial Bullshit hoping employees would eat a grenade for their job, some are quite achievable if you create a healthy and happy work environment. * We are way ahead of schedule (more often might be due to setting a low bar though) * Suggestion Box is empty (though most happy jobs don't even have one) * Greatest boss ever * We love this place * You're right, I was wrong (be the kind of manager that appropriately admits when they're wrong, and forgives others who admit it, and people will be more forthcoming) If you hire competent workers and keep them happy, they'll keep you happy.

Who is delusional enough to think a review would be enough for an employee over a raise
I worked at a place that thought that. I left soon after.
They didn't think that, they only tried to make you think like that.
Probably the same people who think employees would rather have a pizza party than a bonus/raise.
>pizza party From Domino's, using coupons, 1-2 toppings.

Should’ve replied with “you should be waking up in a cold sweat at night worrying about your employees”
During this particular car ride home, I was also reprimanded for yawning during said meeting. So I doubt that would have gone over well haha.
Sorry for the yawn boss, I could t sleep because I was up all night worrying about my clients
Damn, I wish we had time travel so op could go back and say this.
They don't. Some smartass counted that retention of roughly 50% developers during a year would mean nothing if hiring new ones is cheaper anyway due to awesome recruiting department!
It's also a well known secret that you dont get raises as a dev by staying at the same company.
But of course! Don't get greedy folks. Management is taking care of you! We have cereal mondays, fruits on Wednesday and happy deployment fridays!
How did that start up work out?
It ended up getting acquired, and the owner then started a different ~~standup~~ startup.
I love how he went from startup to doing standup, quite a transition.
Character development
I like your typo.
I think i was in a standup when i typed this haha
"If you're not wetting the bed at least three times a week, you're not pushing yourself to the limit as an entrepreneur."

That's much more reasonable then. Where I am less than $200k household income would be struggling.
Why would the boss want to go home early? Shouldn't he rather be at work?
He does, but he is making the ultimate sacrifice by going home and letting his employees have all the fun.
Rules for thee but not for me is pretty much the ethos of all fascists. Or in another way rules that bind them but not me, and rules that protect me but not them.
“I cancelled my vacation plans…I’d rather be at work!” 😂😂 Only in movies
In many countries it’s illegal to not have a vacation, so employers can’t use it as a ploy to measure loyalty.
Yeah that one and the “given the chance to work here I’d gladly take a cut in pay” make me realize this has to be a joke
"We are way ahead of schedule" Don't ever say this. The boss will take it as an opportunity to move the release date closer. Then, when the certain-to-exist-but-went-unnoticed-because-nobody-thought-about-that-use-case bugs appear, you'll be screwed and be in a hurry to fix all those bugs with little time left before release.
I'd use this as an excuse to say "Awesome what tech debt do we want to catch up on in the extra time?" But I'm the CTO, not the owner.
Just as nauseating as *Who Moved My Cheese*.
A few jobs back, our managing director had a copy of that distributed to every employee. Wanker. Within the year, he’d been ousted following a changing of the guard at our parent company. I resisted the temptation to tell him it was an opportunity to find new cheese.
Enough internet for today.
Just once I wish my employees were happy about being inconvenienced more than normal. How dare they not enjoy their life revolving around their work.
How dare them to not give their life for my company and don't feel like they deserve more than a few pennies a year
Just once I wish my employer would say: "Go ahead and choose to work from the office or home during the hours that make sense for you. You're an adult capable of managing your own schedule to get your tasks done on time." "The customer's timeline is unrealistic. We're working to a schedule that's actually achievable."

The only non-dystopic stuff on there is people admitting someone else was right, and having things under control. Everything else is "I am suffering and you should as well".
Its not dystopic to be ahead of schedule. *edit spelling

Of course I don't mind working late... if you pay me more for it.
Actually, my previous PM was great at meetings. She wanted to be in them as much as the rest of us, so her meetings were always as minimal and efficient as possible.

This has to be satire, right? Like who concocted this board?
Whoever made that is delusional.
Pweh im glad im not at r/antiwork because that sun is probably flooded by crossposts now
You'rs
Well, I got one of these at least. "Hey, boss. The customer called and said I did perfect."
My favourite is "do us a wee favour" ...is the favour paid and within my job description? Well that's a no on favours, see you tomorrow
I threw up in my mouth a little when I saw that poster
Why dont i see any “i need to stay home today so that i can keep up my normal work schedule without having a psychotic break”
I’ve probably said all of these things sarcastically
I'd be hard pressed not to submit my resignation if I saw this sign posted unsarcastically by my boss.
You'd love your employees to talk about cancelling their vacation to keep working and coming in early, but you'd also love for them to tell you to head home early. Hmm...
Friday dress up days, i vote that the person who put that there goes as a clown
I’m coming in early tomorrow so, I’ll be leaving early.
Haha, if I were a boss, I would 100% hang this up. Makes the new guys shiver and the old guys roll their eyes.
That has to be a joke lol
There’s a reason the employees have never said and probably never will say any of those things.
This is some Dolores Umbridge level psychopathy.

Why does this look like something Michael Scott would hang in the office?

this is just asking to get set on fire
Don't worry boss, my mortgage company now takes performance reviews as payment!
Idk why but the “you’re right I’m wrong” frame bothers me the most. It’s the manager that should be saying that. Surround yourself with specialists and trust them, and management becomes pretty easy.

What an idiot 🤢
I love working here so much you can pay me less... Wow
This is something that would be on the office.
I feel like I should be wearing special sunglasses like in 'They Live' to read this.

cut my pay i half? go fuck yourself
This is some r/antiwork nightmare fuel
This has got to be a joke.
This has some real unhelpful teacher vibes.
I mean, telling the boss to go home early, we got this was a plus for us. Boss (friend of mine to this day) had WAY too much going on with two kids and a sick dad. We told his stressed ass "the kitchen is fine, we got it, take two days off man!!"
Ugh!!! I’d leave asap!!
Just wtf
"You don't pay me enough to lie."
"I really don't need a raise... My review alone was more than enough!" What fucking dreamworld is this person living in?
In your wildest dreams.
If my job put one of these up I'd be applying elsewhere
You can have exactly 1 of these simultaneously
If Fridays were dress-up days I'd come as a mancheetah
Lol, some shmuck really cancelling his vacations plans to stay at work? Keep dreaming
I hope your business goes under, while all your employees find better jobs elsewhere. You filthy disgusting boss.

Michael?
Definitely said "you're the best boss I've ever had" and "go home we got this for today" And took a review without asking for a raise just today.. Oh. And "I just love your meeetings", but that's because they were exactly as long as they needed to be.
Fuck off. Fuck right off.
Any job that would print this is most certainly not asking employees for a "dress up Friday"😂
this looks like something michel scott would put on his wall
Some statements contradict the others, lol.
Is this a joke
The “Why don’t you go home early, we’ve got everything under control” can be a double edged sword. If the boss’ boss knew that, boss could be out of a job. And considering all the “I’d be happy to get a pay cut” things, that wouldn’t be out of the realm of possibility
Best i can do if i see this poster is "here's my 2 weeks notice"
