Effectively Communicating w/ co-workers

by ComicRN

Came across this while I was cleaning off my desk the other day!

It's a list of things to say to your co-workers when trying to "effectively communicate." (sorry in advance about some of the language, I didn't write this!!)

TRY SAYING: I love a challenge
INSTEAD OF: This job sucks

TRY SAYING: She's an aggressive go-getter
INSTEAD OF: She's a ball-busting b*tch

TRY SAYING: I think you could use more training
INSTEAD OF: You don't know what the f*ck you're doing

TRY SAYING: Yes, we really should discuss it
INSTEAD OF: Another f*cking meeting!

TRY SAYING: Yes, I'll try to schedule that
INSTEAD OF: Why the hell didn't you tell me sooner?

TRY SAYING: Excuse me, sir?
INSTEAD OF: Eat sh*t and die.

TRY SAYING: Are you sure this is a problem?
INSTEAD OF: Who the hell cares?
