Hidden Meanings in Corporate Talks.

Came across some funny corporate talks and thought will share them with you.

1."We will do it" means "You will do it"

2."You have done a great job" means "More work to be given to you"

3."We are working on it" means "We have not yet started working on it"

4."Tomorrow, first thing in the morning" means "It is not getting done "At least not tomorrow!"

5."After discussion we will decide-I am very open to views" means "I have already decided, I will tell you what to do"

6."There was a slight miscommunication" means "We had actually fibbed"

7."Let us call a meeting and discuss" means "I have no time now, will talk later"

8."We can always do it" means "We actually cannot do it on time"

9."We are on the right track, but there needs to be a slight extension of the deadline" means "The project is screwed up, we cannot deliver on time."

10."We had slight differences of opinion "means "We had actually fought"

11."Make a list of the work that you do and let's see how I can help you" means "Anyway you have to find a way out, no help from me"

12."You should have told me earlier" means "Well even if you had told me earlier, that would have made hardly any difference!"

13."We need to find out the real reason" means "Well, I will tell you where your fault is"

14."Well, Family is important; your leave is always granted. Just ensure that the work is not affected," means, "Well you know...you cannot afford to take off at this juncture"

15."We are a team," means, "I am not the only one to be blamed"

16."That's actually a good question" means "I do not know anything about it"

17."All the Best" means "You are in trouble"


All you corporate folks out there, are the hidden meanings really true????
