Management bolloxspeak

[chris.biker]

The best phrase I ever heard from a manager, first I need to take you back to the moment it was said. I was a skinny apprentice learning my trade from the craftsmen around me, one of which had made a steel frame and had me assisting him ( or was it he was putting up with showing me the ropes?) well having made the frame it needed glass fitting into it with silicon sealant. I nervously had one side  of the glass to clamp down into the sealant my tightening a G-clamp  with a rubber pad between it a the glass sheet. The craftsman had instructed me to do up the clamp just enough to start squeezing down the rubber pad, as I reach this point I asked the craftsman at the same time our manager arrived '' is this enough then''. before I heard any reply from my trusted guide the manager pushed me a side took control of the clamp stating '' in this game you have to be fearless'' stated as he applied a fraction of a turn on the clamp and as the glass broke.


I and the craftsman made our way straight to the gents where we laughed so hard it hurt.


'' you got to be fearless in this game'' Remember a crackingly true management  statement.
