I had a new boss come to a company we supply who wanted our feedback 'off the record' on what we they could do better.

18 months later I am in a discipline hearing where part of the evidence is that I told him this employee was crap and he used it in a later attempt to sack her. I hadn't ( I had said that like all depts of that type , at peak times they struggled to cope with demands), but that is how he had remembered it when she started to give him problems, so he wrote it up in her appraisal.

Ended up spending a day and £150 in rail fares stoping her getting the sack.

In a word, keep stum.

What a random O/T post. Nothing about fish at all.
No need to get all snapper.

Is the boss 'seeing' his secretary? You may find 'love is blind'.

That looks a bit like Judi Tench.

Don't know, you may need to go fishing for that one at the bank, or just trawl through their accounts!

How to tell a boss his staff are carp? Toughie, but how about:

"Mr boss, your staff are carp!"

I'm sure he'll tank you for your honesty, especially if there's a rise in net profits.

I'm not surprised the staff are so carp if he's only paying sick squid an hour.

All the staff are carp? And a new piranha is going into the tank? This is a high pressure situation, possibly the tip of the iceberg, when the news is spread there may be a feeding frenzy.

Halibut throwing him a lifeline, he'll soon be reeled in. Once landed safely eel mullet over in the keep tank.

This thread is giving carp a bad name. I worked with some carp and they were gold(fish)
