Things you wish you could say

"I see you have discovered typing, but the chirping noises you've recorded in this email have no business in our enterprise. Please stop trying to tell my staff how to do their jobs. You're confusing them and they're already doing what I believe you're asking for as part of the existing build automation process. I'd be happy to show you how it works, unless you'd rather keep trying to dictate redundant and contradictory policy and getting repeatedly shut down.

Your call."

So much information there. Hang in there! Bosses Day is coming sooner or later.

I have a roadmap published for 2023. It clearly lists the projects I'm resourcing against for the year and shows the exact count broken down by month of people resources I am allocating. When I say "We're full and cannot take anything more on this year", I @#!$@#$#$ mean it. If you want your project bumped in priority, take it to PMO and ask them to pitch it to the exec team. If they agree, I'll re-allocate people. Good luck there, they asked you for this in October when we all got together and planned this out. Poor planning on your part does not change that. Idiot.

But I want it done now.

For once, answer the question that was asked without a the 5-minutes monologue that completely evades the topic.
Be clear and concise. Better yet, say no more--just nod your head Yes or NO and be gone!

Political debate, sounds like!

Yes, great guess! I talk to my dad every day-he is recently retired so all day long he listens to politics, politics politics At Christmas I actually had to limited him to 20 minutes of political debate per day with a willing participate. I wrote rules and everything; posted them on the frig. I texted him penalty card memes, time-outs (like a childs time-out--lol) whenever he violated a rule. He would get so mad; LOL

Basically. And I'm no longer allowed to laugh in people's faces when they say stupid stuff like that. Evidently HR frowns on it.

I love our HR team. They don't put up with a lot of crap and they're fun. However, when someone complains, I get "the talk" about being mean.
