The Secret Language of the Workplace

Employer Lingo --

Competive Salary
We remain competive by paying less than our competitors

Join our fast-paced team
We have no time to train you

Casual work atmosphere
We don't pay enough to expect you to dress well

Must be deadline oriented
You'll be six months behind schedule on your first day

Some overtime required
Some time each night and some time each weekend

Duties will vary
Anyone in the shop can boss you around

Problem-solving skills a must
You're walking into a company in perpetual chaos

Requires leadership skills
You'll have the responsibilities of a manager, without the pay or respect

Employee Lingo --

I'm extremely adept at all manner of organization
I can make my own coffee

I'm honest, hard-working and dependable
I only pilfer offfice supplies

My work experience includes ...
I hope you don't ask me about all the McJobs I've had

I'm personable
I give lots of unsolicited personal advice to co-workers

I am adaptable
I've changed jobs a lot

I am on-the-go
I am never at my work station

I'm highly motivated to succeed
The minute I find a better job, I'm outta here

The Wit and Wisdom of Homer J. Simpson
Marge, it takes two to lie. One to lie and one to listen. If you really want something in life you have to work for it. Now quiet, they're about to announce the lottery numbers. Marge, don't discourage the boy! Weaseling out of things is important to learn. It's what separates us from the animals! Except the weasel.
I want to share something with you - the three sentences that will get you through life.
Number 1: Cover for me.
Number 2: Oh, good idea, boss
Number 3: It was like that when I got here.
Lisa, if you don't like your job you don't go on strike. You just go in every day and do it really half-assed. That's the American way. Maybe, just once, someone will call me "Sir" without adding "you're making a scene."
