National “Call your boss a cunt!” Day
17 Comments · Posted by Mr Angry in Current Affairs, Open Letters, People
Is today (well, according to me, anyway).
Consider it more of a suggestion than a direct instruction. I will certainly be trying it. After all, recent studies suggest that it can only be a good thing.
How many times have we all received those pseudo-chain letter emails which talk about office based language, and hilariously point out that when someone says, “I see what you are trying to say there, but I feel I have to disagree”, what they are really saying is, “You are an utter cunt, I have never heard such mindless drivel, and if you don’t shut up this instant I will be forced to smash your head repeatedly into the colour photocopier. And not that small one in reception. The big fucking metal one on the second floor.” Ha! That is funny. What a hilarious email, I will now instantly forward it to everyone I know so that I am not killed to death at midnight.
Well, for today only there is no need for such false pleasantries in the workplace.
Don’t feel like taking on that extra task for your boss? “Shove it your fucking hoop you arse sucking cock wipe.”
Think that the company is making a strategic error? “You fucking pant pissing window-lickers make me feel like I’m on the special bus at home time!”
Your assistant put too much sugar in your coffee, again? “Yummm. That is delicious!” Well, she is really fit. I am rebellious, not fucking stupid.
So, for today only, be completely honest in the workplace, and do not forget to let us know how you get on.

I shall be sure to call the Queen a Cunt if I should bump into her. If only this post had come out a couple of weeks ago when Gordon Blair decided to pop in to see us in Basrah.

Shove it up your ass, Angry. This comment is for US.

It seems that swearing might actually boost your productivity so swearing at your boss definitely seems like a good move.

I am self employed, and I have tried calling myself names. It didn’t quite increase my productivity or job satisfaction.
What am I doing wrong?

Oh Dear – I got sacked from my job as primary school teacher in the first 5 minutes – thanks Angry.

My boss seems oblivious to the word cunt, in fact I’d nearly say he likes it. Can you suggest something stronger I could use?

Unfortunately, his reply was “Yes,I know. Now do your bloody job!”

Would love to, but I’m a coward, so I muttered it under my breath anyway.

I don’t have a boss, I’m a sponging student.

I was hauled over the coals for sending an email asking for volunteers to man an exhibition stand (apparently that is sexist language and therefore unacceptable) so I doubt calling anyone a cunt’s going to go down well in my place.

@ Cat – it’s exactly the sort of people who want us to “person an exhibition stand” who should be called cunt. As long as you tell them it’s a stand on your freedom of speech I’m sure they’d applaud you.

This is the worst idea EVER! FACT! Taking assertiveness to a whole new level.
By the way, why have you changed your blog settings so that when I read it on bloglines it only shows the first few lines of the post…super annoying.

Never met a boss who isn’t. Well, I have but rarely. Lost several jobs insulting bosses. Only once with the word cunt though. He was a director so he was a big one n all.

US – Glad to see/read you are still in one piece.
Jo – People (other blogs) were stealing entire posts from my RSS feed and using them on other sites, so this is an attempt to stop that. I will be reviewing it over the coming weeks.

So that’s what happened! Here I thought all that assertiveness training was paying off, and they were just subscribing to another of those horrid self help days.
