Boss-Speak
What every working girl needs to know
"Sure, that report can wait until after lunch."
Means: I’m sure your bonus can wait too!
"I'd love to do lunch with you to discuss your proposal on new strategies."
Means: You're buying, I'm not staying for dessert and don't expect me to be listening to the conversation.
"I'll find out about our overtime policy for you."
Means: How about you quit surfing online, do your work faster and be thankful you even have a job?
"I don't mind if you're a few minutes late every so often."
Means: If you do it again, you can kiss your lunch hour goodbye!
"There’s a work event and we'd love for you to come."
Means: You’ll be working the door, coat check and don’t expect any free drinks.
