Some Differences Between You And Your Boss

© Copyright Frank D. Kanu 2000-2008

When you take a long time, you’re slow. When your boss takes a long time, he’s thorough.

When you don’t do it, you’re lazy. When your boss doesn’t do it, he’s too busy.

When you make a mistake, you’re an idiot. When your boss makes a mistake, he’s only human.

When doing something without being told, you’re overstepping your authority. When your boss does the same thing, that’s initiative.

When you take a stand, you’re being bull-headed. When your boss does it, he’s being firm.

When you overlooked a rule of etiquette, you’re being rude. When your boss skips a few rules, he’s being original.

When you please your boss, you’re apple polishing. When your boss pleases his boss, he’s being co-operative.

When you’re out of the office, you’re wandering around. When your boss is out of the office, he’s on business.

When you’re on a day off sick, you’re always sick. When your boss is a day off sick, he must be very ill.

When you apply for leave, you must be going for an interview. When your boss applies for leave, it’s because he’s overworked.

    It’s the way we look at the importance of our bosses and the respect needed to please them. Being superior gives them the opportunity to do things differently. This provokes us to think about fairness in considering the things we do.

Because I value your thoughtful opinions, I encourage you to add them.
