[La Lioness Priyanka]

11. its much more formal. and people addresses their bosses as sir etc

freaks me out

At my old company, my boss (a VP) always called the President of the company "Pencil Neck" in departmental meetings.

[La Lioness Priyanka]

here the ceo is my uncle and i still have to address him as sir. :eyes:

19. Research, it's called research, we always call it research...

There's that classic Dilbert cartoon where Wally almost gets a job stress testing the company's products by "downloading large image files from some of the busiest servers on the net..."

[liontamer]

[La Lioness Priyanka]
