So on my 6-month pass-probation 1:1 my boss mentions 'getting all the ducks in line'
What does 'getting all the ducks in line' actually mean?
"You say that it is your custom to burn widows. Very well. We also have a custom: when men burn a woman alive, we tie a rope around their necks and we hang them. Build your funeral pyre; beside it, my carpenters will build a gallows. You may follow your custom. And then we will follow ours."--General Sir Charles James Napier
I'm consitently stupid- Japher I think that opinion in the United States is decidedly different from the rest of the world because we have a free press -- by free, I mean a virgorously presented right wing point of view on the air and available to all.- Ned
Life is not measured by the number of breaths you take, but by the moments that take your breath away.

It doesn't matter if he does or doesn't, particularly. His boss's perception matters.

why didn't you fire back dude? Saying, hey, cut the crap Matlock, at least I have the balls to speak my mind without resorting to double talk. Listen, you're my boss, right? You expect me to respect you, you big ****ing ***** you? Have you ever seen the Goodfellas?? Have you? You know in that movie, they do that whole heist thing, Henry Hill, you know the story, even though you're an English *****, don't you?
You know what the lesson of the story is? The REAL lesson? It's not that the rats get it at the end, it's that you protect your own ass, and see when the time has come to make a move. That's right, I'm gunning for your ass. I'm going to your boss and say that you called me a ******. I'm getting HR involved, I'm getting everyone involved. You're going to lose your job, and I'm going to apply for it. So... get your ducks in line, *****!
In da butt.

Also, if you're going to lose,just wait him in the parking lot and kick him in the face. No matter what, you win. You either win his job, or he loses his teeth. You can't say you'd rather take his place now would you?
You see, win-win. Don't get even, get berzerk.

Pekka, did you get all your work problems solved?
Did you meet them in the parking lot?

More importantly, have you ****ed the **** out of that girl yet?
