tough question for me, because i'm not the type of person to hold back. any sort of question that i might have, i've asked. in the spirit of keeping with the spirit of the thread i'll answer anyway:Originally Posted by JDPNYY
Can i have friday off?
Could you please take control of what's going on, make the changes you know need to be made, follow through on a more regular basis, and hold your supervisors accountable for the failures of their departments?
I've actually gone over all of these things with him before, but I'd like to ask in the frustrated, exasperated, and somewhat angry way I really feel them, instead of conversationally in a way that won't get me on his bad side and/or fired.

Ok John, you're frustrated with these nonsensical answers. I'll get the thread started.
Q: Did you steal the hard earned money from the bonus pool to stuff your own pockets along with the other empty suits instead of giving it to the people that worked hard for it and really earned it?
EDIT: the previous 2 answers weren't there when I started typing my answer.
I'm just a simple guy, I live from day to day.
A ray of sunshine melts my frown, blows my blues away.
How do I answer if I AM the boss?
Oh yeah, things are always better when Randi's around.

Can I keep my job after I kick your ass?
Don't tease me, you know what I do for a living.
May I have less work and more pay? Thanks.
Do you regret giving up a boring but very safe job at a law firm to come to the never-ending adventure of work here?
And when we inevitably all get laid off, will you bring me with you to the next place you work?

I am really lucky -- I truly love my boss - she's the best boss I ever had, I love my job and I'm paid well for it...so it took me a long time to come up with a question.
I would like to ask: Why do you speak so highly about one of our designers? He has major issues -- is condescending, difficult, can't take criticism (which in that job is critical since everything is so subjective), stirs up his co-workers by complaining all the time and can NEVER be wrong. He almost always has an agenda (whether it's conscious or not).
It's not like she hasn't seen this behavior because I've seen him do it to her in meetings before, and he always does it to my peer, his direct boss. I feel bad for her because she's constantly having to pull him in a room and have these discussions. Ugh..I don't get it...she's such a good judge of people and character and hires great people too...she didn't even hire him so I really don't get it.
Geez, no fluff today, huh? Ok ...
Would it be possible for you to get the head chef to stop hitting on me without him pouting about it for weeks on end afterwards, thus making my job much more difficult?
This chick digs the long ball
In the same spirit, the way I would phrase that to my boss would be, "I'm going to take Friday off. What are you going to do about it?"
Why are you so bitter about the Yankees?
Which co-workers would you cast as the main members of the original Star Trek Series?

Who the hell is your boss, and what are you going to do with Lincecum and/or Mauer if he gets them for you?
why did you promise me the world and show me a globe?
Do you wish you'd married someone else?
Was he a Major or a Captain?
Can't answer....no job and lovin it!

Ya bag! East Bay? Fremont? Oakland? Richmond?, Pittsburg? No, that's right, no boss - Alamo? San Ramon? Danville?
I'd ask our GM - "tell us the honest truth, do you think we will be in business next year or not? Some honest information here would be nice, even if it isn't what we want to hear." Your employees deserve the truth. God knows they work hard enough for you, in spite of being treated like they don't matter.

Aha! Guess enough times and I'm bound to be correct! Saratoga/San Jose here. Did you go to the recent series in Oakland? I mean the ONE freakin' series we get each year for the last five. &(^)*^%)%

Unfortunately for him, the nickname has stuck.

Why did you never take the time to learn the name of the Department that you run? (My boss is leaving in two days and only gets our Department's name right when referring to it once in a blue moon.)

I see, interesting. I am bitter that the A's are only given one Yankee series per year.

That's a mean thing to say. Now she'll probably be thinking that all the time.
My boss is leaving in two days so I probably COULD ask her any virtually question I wanted without repercussions right now. Since I am in that situation and I'm not asking anything, I guess the answer is that I wouldn't.

oh no way!
This question has me wondering what questions my staff would have of me?
Should this be in the double-standard thread?oh no way!
i know the old codger was an MP during 'nam.
now he's just a mad man (as in ad agency owner).

As I am unemployed (still), I will have to harken back to the days of my last job, and pose this question of my boss:
Why are you laying me off, instead of that lazy, good-for-nothing other teacher who hasn't been successful in any situation you put him into during the last two years?
What's that you say?
oh...... because he graduated from this school.
I see.
(no I don't)
.Of all the things in life I've lost, I miss my mind the most.
I dont have a boss, they laid them all off last year...the lunatics run the asylum
Constantly, if not more often
Actually lots of boob talk lately:
last Friday my boss and I had a meeting at 3 - half of it was discussing that we both want to get a reduction - her niece just had it done and she has a good doctor.
The other day i was holding up a vinyl sign sample that we are looking to produce with our logos...I had it pretty close to me and it was longer than I am tall..the designer went to poke at the areas that had some bitmap issues and hit me in the boob..we both were kind of embarrassed so we just acted like it didn't happen and I just pulled the sign nonchalantly further away from my body.
Last was today - we got in our T-shirt proof and one of the designers modeled it to show where the art was falling on the front and back...later someone else wanted to see and asked me to put it on - I said there's no way that medium is going over the girls..I had to prove it to them - I was right.
Lots of boob talk, 24/7 this week...it's usually something!
I'm filing suit....

Well, I recently lost my main job but I would like to know this..
Why the hell are you telling everyone I was fired when I quit?
