I just had an opportunity to use the phrase "I admire your ability to reach that level of confidence without the inconvenience of competence" at work

@jerry what was the response?

[larsmb@mastodon.online]

@jerry I have those opportunities but not the cojones

[sroy@mastodon.social]

@jerry You’re absolutely right!

@jerry I have trouble finding an hour during the day when that phrase would not be appropriate.

@jerry Had a manager who finally got fed up with another manager who kept talking while saying nothing. He interrupted them and said, "Have you lost your mind. Do you need to go out into the hallway and look for it."
