    asskissing =


    What makes 100%? What does it mean “to give more than 100%”?

    Ever wonder about those people who say they are giving more than 100%?

    We have all been to those meetings where someone wants you to give more than 100%. How about giving 103%? What makes up 100% in life?

    Let’s try a little mathing to answer these questions.

    * * *

    If we represent the alphabet with numerical values, thus:

    A=1 B=-2 C=3 D=4 E=5 F=6 G=7 H=8 I=9 J=10 K=11 L=12 M=13

    N=14 O=15 P=16 Q=17 R=18 S=19 T=20 U=21 V=22 W=23 X=24 Y=25 Z=26

    Then the words,

    HARDWORK = 8+1+18+4+23+15+18+11 = 98%

    KNOWLEDGE = 11+14+15+23+12+5+4+7+5 = 96%

    And,

    ATTITUDE = 1+20+20+9+20+21+4+5 = 100%

    BULL**** = 2+21+12+12+19+8+9+20 = 103%

    But look how far ass-kissing will get you:

    ASSKISSING = 1+19+19+11+9+19+19+9+14+7 = 118%

    We can therefore conclude with mathematical certainty,

    While hard work and knowledge will get you close,

    And attitude will get you there,

    It’s bull**** and ass-licking that will put you over the top.

    * * *

    Remember, some people are alive simply because

    IT IS ILLEGAL TO SHOOT THEM.

    Unfortunately, working currently in a big multinational, I can say that pretty much the only way to get ahead is by kissing ass.

    That's the one. Originally a traveller word and that's how they spell it. I used to love reminding people from Cork that they were speaking the language of the travellers.

    Trololol!! cool post :D


    It actually reminds me of a pre-service briefing I got from my boss last year, in which we were told that she expected 120% effort from us.

    I was like 'sorry no, it's gonna have to be 100%' and she got all pissed off at me :rolleyes:


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,207 ✭✭✭longhalloween


    I would have said "Beour"


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 648 ✭✭✭VEN


    i never had a problem with it, let them on but... more of a problem is those who try to shift blame unto others when they've ****ed up on a job, denial, lies, lack of self responsibility. best thing to do there is make it known in front of their co-workers what they're up to and take no ****e.

    I have a new german byor on my team.Shes only part of the team 3 weeks but im starting to think shes a khoont

    She doesnt talk to any of the team and goes out of her way to kiss managements ass and attempt to mix with them

    If she was infront of us she wouldnt even hold the door,but if a manager was behind her she would wait holding the door

    Funny thing is that kissing managers ass will get her nowhere

    Have you worked with people who just love a good ass lick

    Try being nice to her and she will be nice to you.

    Being German, you could offer to teach her a few words and phrases in English.

    And she could correct your mistakes.
    You and your other work mates are the fools.

    She knows what she wants and she's going after leaving you all eating her dust.

    This + 100

    Nothing worse than being in a workplace where the pack mentality of other (usually lazy gits) try they're best to hold you back.

    Its usually out of jealousy as they know they cannot compete.

    I hope the German girl in the OP's post gets exactly what she wants out of her job.

    In a year or two she won't even remember the people trying to hold her back now, nor will she need to give a fúck.

    I would disagree with that...

    The mentality of your average ass-kisser is not that of "oh the others are lazy or just jealous" ... no. its the mentality of doing what ever it takes to get on. Even if it means rimming the asshole off your boss and coming off as a disgrace if front of others. they dont care. all about getting on.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 7,293 ✭✭✭1ZRed


    There ain't nothin wrong with a bit of rimming OP


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 298 ✭✭IrishExpat


    It's been six months since I left the cubicle, and I still don't miss office-land politics. Was great fun over-hearing the drama all the same.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,300 ✭✭✭hairyprincess



    According to Arnie, German women are very hairy so I can't imagine that being nice.

    Ahem ahem!!

    Could be a sociopath.


  • Posts: 6,645 ✭✭✭ Jackson Poor Sweeper


    Does her name begin with a C? I swear I used to work with the same woman. All she did was suck up to the managers, report everyone else's mistakes, snitch on people, repeat stuff she'd heard in the canteen....she was basically the least sound person I've ever met.

    I don't agree that OP and his colleagues are trying to hold anyone back. You can be good at your job and impress your boss without being a complete w*nker and stepping on everyone. Funnily enough, these people are usually jobsworths who are pretty crap at the job and only get promoted because they kiss arse.

    I currently work with a guy who licks serious a**, from day one he has followed around the boss like a lapdog, nodding yes sir to every single demand, laughing at his bad jokes and generally looking down on anyone who doesnt also lick a**, this has made him fairly unpopular in the workplace but the boss is one of those weak men who need people to adore him to boost his little ego. Hate that kind of person, they never really get too far in work as the boss needs them under their thumb at all times..
