Maybe it's just me.
But I can not stand those stupid phrases the bosses at my office use to "illustrate" how important something is that they need.
The two phrases that annoy me to no end:
#1 "I need this yesterday"
I'm thinking how utterly impossible this is.
#2 " you should put forth 110% effort"
Again, utterly impossible! And what are you trying to say? Are you telling me my 100%effort isnt good enough?
I guess I'm just aggravated about the small "fires" that pop up and fall on my shoulders with the same sense of urgency that it was passed on to my boss.
Why couldn't he pass it to me when he FIRST got it? Don't throw it at me when it's almost OBE. (Overcome by Events)

I've had bosses like that in the past that would say certain things are top priority and needs to be done right away. All the while he's getting ready to leave early to get in a few rounds of golf. smh
funny but so true. Often some bosses, because of their incompetence or lack of understanding, don't recognize something as being hot until the last minute. Then it becomes your hot project. "I got a fire mission for you" "do what you gotta do but I need this to happen now" "perform one of your miracles" Talking about poor management and abuse ... Read Moreof authority! And once completed, you still have to go back to where you left off with your other work. That is when you play "WHACK YOUR BOSS" on the orhardlyworking site. LOL
@Sailor... BOO to your old boss. I had a female boss that NEVER checked her email. So when I sent her something, I would have to follow up to make sure she checked it, otherwise she would come to me days later like I was late on my stuff! I would say, I sent that to you Monday (it would be thursday or friday when she would ask for it)
