Work Ethics and Wisdom

Για σήμερα θα ήθελα να παραθέσω μέρος της σοφίας ενός ανθρώπου, που θα έπρεπε να αποτελεί πρότυπο για κάθε σκεπτόμενο εργαζόμενο. Κυρίες και κύριοι ο μοναδικός, ο ανεπανάληπτος David Brent...

Avoid employing unlucky people - throw half of the pile of CVs in the bin without reading them.

Eagles may soar high, but weasels don't get sucked into jet engines.

If at first you don't succeed, remove all evidence you ever tried.

If work was so good, the rich would have kept more of it for themselves.

If you can keep your head when all around you have lost theirs, then you probably haven't understood the seriousness of the situation.

Know your limitations and be content with them. Too much ambition results in promotion to a job you can't do.

Lack of planning on your part does not constitute an emergency on my part.

Never do today that which will become someone else's responsibility tomorrow.

Process and Procedure are the last hiding place of people without the wit and wisdom to do their job properly.

Quitters never win, winners never quit. But those who never win and never quit are idiots.

Remember that age and treachery will always triumph over youth and ability.

Show me a good loser and I'll show you a LOSER!

There may be no 'I' in team, but there's a 'ME' if you look hard enough.

There's no 'I' in 'team'. But then there's no 'I' in 'useless smug colleague', either. And there's four in 'platitude-quoting idiot'. Go figure.

Those of you who think you know everything are annoying to those of us who do.

What does a squirrel do in the summer? It buries nuts. Why? Cos then in winter time he's got something to eat and he won't die. So, collecting nuts in the summer is worthwhile work. Every task you do at work think, would a squirrel do that? Think squirrels. Think nuts.

You have to be 100% behind someone, before you can stab them in the back.

Time is against us. … So where the Nazis

“There are limits to my comedy. There are things that I’ll never laugh at. The handicapped. Because there’s nothing funny about them. Or any deformity. It’s like when you see someone look at a little handicapped and go ‘ooh, look at him, he’s not able-bodied. I am, I’m prejudiced.’ Yeah, well, at least the little handicapped fella is able-minded. Unless he’s not, it’s difficult to tell with the wheelchair ones.”
