So on my 6-month pass-probation 1:1 my boss mentions 'getting all the ducks in line'

[Pekka]

Sloww, all the problems are worked out. I didn' tmeet anyone in the parking lot, but I still ruled so I know what I'm talking about. Always be surprising. Give them pressure back, give them something they want to avoid having, so they'd rather conform than fight you.

Theben, not yet, but it's getting better every single day. And if that happens, i wouldn't say about it like that, because I respect her.

Do you get to shoot them once they're "in line"? If not, what happens next?

[Lancer]

That's it, get your ducks in a line and you can shoot them all with one bullet, very efficient. I however use an arrow so they're all ready skewered for the BBQ.

[SlowwHand]

Cort is toast. Just tell him and let him get his mind right about it.

Yes. Yada yada, ad infinitum.

[Cort Haus]

My ducks are fine, it was other people's ducks he was referring to. I had a glowing report.

[DrSpike]

No, you're supposed to get them in a line and shoot them. So if your ducks are fine that means you need to put more effort in.

[DirtyMartini]

I think ducks are traditionally arranged in rows, not lines.

[LordShiva]

That's what I thought, too.

[Elok]

Okay, I used that generator of Asher's. WTF is a 'mindshare?' Whatever it means, I want to kill whoever made it up.

[Asher]

Mindshare is marketshare of the mind.

You're not thinking outside the box, Elok.

Gee Pekka, I assume you don't make such noises when you're talking to the shrink doctors. They'll never let you go back to work. I guess you don't since I doubt you could post from a padded cell.

But still, it might be fun to be on your evaluation team.
