See what happens when you detract from accepted corporate language. Bonjour indeed!
I like that a lot
I recall having a date with a very similar script, many years ago. Except the promotion bit. I think I asked for something else.
Ha! I just spat my coffee out reading this.
What does it say about me when I say that the above conversation made complete sense to me.
Haven’t you got more important things to do? Blogging FFS…….
@Corporate Daycare: are you the CEO? 🙂
I thought for a minute you’d happened on the script from next week’s Apprentice! CEO has to be a he! A woman would be more organised and have 100 reasons why she needs to see you. There’d be a list of all the tasks you’d done wrong over the last ten years! 😉
Ha!
Love it.
Welcome back, CEO.
A new day coming right up – try again. Maybe he didn’t like your tie?
@david – Never trying that again……Italian maybe?
@paul – Thanks! 🙂
@James Mayes – Perv!
@Corporate Daycare – I feel your pain!
@petergold99 – I consider it my outlet……! 🙂
@VernoicaPullen – Thanks for commenting! Now that would be telling! 🙂
@Henry – I thought it was time they had a dust off……
@mkeefer – next time the tie goes around the neck…..and I’m not talking about mine!
