bridge too far Posted 23 December, 2009 Share Posted 23 December, 2009 Don't know about the office environment anymore, but phrases like... the boy done good, rather than the boy did well, really annoy.

You're not f****** good, you're f****** well..! :mad: Not really an annoying OFFICE phrase - just a bloody annoying phrase: 'It'll be ready immediately' - 'Good, good'. One 'good' is enough IMO.

Johnny Bognor Posted 23 December, 2009 Share Posted 23 December, 2009 (edited) ... according to a survey of 3,000 people done by The Brooke. 1. at the end of the day - I use this one 2. what goes around comes around - and this one 3. it's not rocket science - I've expanded this to "we're not trying to put men on the moon here" usually in response to IT people that just try and overcomplicate things to justify their salaries 4. thinking outside the box - and this one 5. flogging a dead horse - and this one 6. don't shoot the messenger - and this one 7. going forward - and this one 8. by the close of play - and this one 9. give you the heads up - and this one 10. live and learn - not this one though Which must officially make me the most annoying **** in the office. Oh well, another day another dollar How are you..? I'm good..! You're not f****** good, you're f****** well..! :mad: I use that all the time. Too many people say "not bad" (which sounds crap lets face it) whereas "good" is more positive and essentially means the same. I'll stop using good, if you stop using not bad.

revolution saint Posted 24 December, 2009 Share Posted 24 December, 2009 Referring to your organisation as 'The business' when working in the public sector. It's not a business, it's not run for profit and it's not there to extract the most money it can from it's "customers". It's a service. However, anyone who wants to do well in the public sector should always use 'The business' in as many conversations as possible - it virtually guarantees success.
