Manager: "Good Morning"

Employee: "Okay"

Manager: "You are fired. I deserve a proper reply"

Employee: "I have put my entire focus on solving the problem the team members have been skipping for months. Anyways I will go"

Manager: "My bad, I will fire the other employee"

What

That feels when working for a terrorist.

At my first job, I sat there, eyes closed and computer still off. I ran a complicated system design in my head whether it would catch all oddities.

Boss came in: "what are you doing?"
Me: "thinking."
Boss: "don't you want to switch your computer on?"
Me, eyes still closed: "no."

Boss left, really confused. When I was done, I went to him to explain what I had been doing and why I hadn't been reacting to him. He was enough of a techie to understand.

Always reply with same! And smile 😀
