ok maui, my turn...
1. A pat on the back is only a few centimeters from a kick in the
pants.
2. Don't be irreplaceable, if you can't be replaced, you can't be
promoted.
3. The more crap you put up with, the more crap you are going to
get.
4. You can go anywhere you want if you look serious and carry a
clipboard.
5. Eat one live toad the first thing in the morning and nothing worse
will happen to you the rest of the day.
6. Never ask two questions in a business letter. The reply will discuss
the one you are least interested in, and say nothing about the other.
7. When the bosses talk about improving productivity, they are never
talking about themselves.
8. If at first you don't succeed, try again. Then quit. No use being a
damn fool about it.
9. There will always be beer cans rolling on the floor of your car
when the boss asks for a ride home from the office.
10. Mother said there would be days like this, but she never said there
would be so many.
11. Keep your boss's boss off your boss's back.
12. Everything can be filed under "miscellaneous."
13. Never delay the ending of a meeting or the beginning of a cocktail
hour.
14. To err is human, to forgive is not company policy.
15. Anyone can do any amount of work provided it isn't the work
he is supposed to be doing.
16. Important letters that contain no errors will develop errors in the
mail.
17. The last person that quit or was fired will be the one held
responsible for everything that goes wrong
18. Until the next person quits or is fired.
19. There is never enough time to do it right the first time, but there is
always enough time to do it over.
20. The more pretentious a corporate name, the smaller the
organization. (For instance, The Murphy Centre for Codification
of Human and Organizational Law, contrasted to IBM, GM,
AT&T...).
21. If you are good, you will be assigned all the work. If you are really
good, you will get out of it.
