She’ll probably be an easy sell, go with the dumb boss

To talk to Customer Service, press one.

To talk to Billing, press two.

To talk to Technical Support, press three.

To talk to someone who gives a rats @ss, press the exact value of Pi.

The old boss got fired. That is the new boss.

The secretary knows all.

The Administrative Assistant! Twice the knowledge at a fraction of the salary.

The boss.

This includes management at most businesses. If you want to know, ask those that do.

Give her the spiel. If she accepts, the boss will.

More to the point, do NOT irritate the one with power to block you.

I was an administrative assistant (secretary) for several companies. Always did the “bosses” job for a fraction of the salary. They usually didn’t know what was needed to get the job done.

Secretaries aren’t supposed to speak that way.

Always be friends with the secretary! If you want to know what’s really going on.

If anyone had a question at work I would say, “Talk to her, she’s the brains of the outfit. I’m just the pretty face”

Good question. Is he buying or selling?

Dissing the boss will ensure you’re not the boss.

I prefer someone who knows what they are talking about and has the ability to do something about the issue. But that’s just me.

Supervisor?

One of my favorite old Herman comics!

Spoken by every school secretary in every building I ever taught in !

Reality check in real life. The gatekeeper is the master.
