Inbred manager's name... this makes a lot more sense to me now.
It's because without that little pat on the back they'd realise they're essentially worthless... you can trash half the managers involved in the projects I've been on, wastes.
Well done son, where in landan are you guys?
If you want a nice way of fucking them about, i find the bait and switch great fun.
Really genuinely say well done k them, don't over exaggerate... just make it sound like you're patting them on the back like they do to each other. Eventually their forced modesty kicks in "oh hur burr hurr, I didn't do anything". "I know."
My company just did its first delivery to a new big customer , got the acceptance docs signed etc.
Was pretty funny to see management and the business-tards furiously emailing one another with company wide replyAll
Congratulating one another over an excellent job they had done in particular,
for example :
Gavin : Ahh capital , well done john for your undertaking in this tremendous accomplishment
John: oh and thank YOU for your guidance Gavin, couldnt have done it without you, we really exceeded outselves with the hard work we put it, also a big mention to (insert another inbred manager's name)
And that keeps on bouncing on and on
( absolutely no fucking mention of devs who did the actual Work, nooo nooo just a brief reference to us as "the boys in london"....)
Kinda glad they aren't in office most of the time else this level of back-patting would have probably turned into a circle jerk in the board room.
Almost thought of getting the dev teams to join the storm of emails and start randomly congratulating one another too with company wide replyAlls but that kind of prank would likely be ill received by out high and mighty leaders.
( on the flip side maybe they would actually learn out names)
