Typical phrases from Bosses

Let me try and make out some top 5 phrases/questions asked by most of their Bosses to their workers in a [sarcastic] manner, and which obviously makes them to feel a bit, though they do/answer to those work/questions.

And these assumptions might not hold good for exceptional bosses. :)

Here we go:
5. "Don't forget to do that, before you leave for the day."
4. "Hope we can finish this functionality by EOD."
3. "Can you please follow up and get this done ASAP."
2. "Could you revert the changes you have made, the previous implementation itself looked better."
1. "Did you get any chance to look into that issue?"

Is it O.T. or O.B. ??

Hi all..

This post is related to the day-to-day routine life of Software Engineers.. :)
Normally O.T. stands for Over Time.. But is there any terminology of that sort in Software Jobs, apart from shift works [Even that will be for 8 hours a day].. Actually there isnt anything like that, There is no *need* for a Software Engineer to bug and sit infront of the computer for hours and hours [meaning, may be >8 hrs appr] per day, apart from exceptional cases like Deadlines, Prod Issue etc.. As long as you do your work *smartly*..

But, that isnt the case with most of us, we see lots of people staying late hours [apart from exceptional cases], Are they doing O.T... Nope they are doing O.B.. ;) May be from a married person's perspective, who comes and leaves office in time [lets say], as there are even exceptions in those cases, because of the problems in their home [thats diff.. {Note:1}]; he/she gets irritated a lot to see these young guys sitting late hours.. and putting lots of scene infront of their managers.. ;)

Okayss.. Lets see what are all *may* be the reasons, for these young bloods to stay late and trying to put scene.. Here you go:

• They dont have any entertainment in their houses [no TV, gud company..etc] , so anyway they need to kill time
• They can use the company's cab when they stay late [happens in VZ, even i have did that]
• They can order for dinner, and eat in company itself and claim the same bill.. :D
• Some extra-ordinary cases, have this feeling in their *blood* itself, like not to move from their seat, even when not doing any productive work.. ;)
• Above all, they can show their managers that they are working soooo hard staying very late [that means, he/she is also there at that time.. !! what about him/her ?? think recursively, even {Note:1} applies here ]

So.. the reasons may go on increasing.. But will stop with that..
One more thing is that coming to office during weekends..Though i hate this, i am failing.. This is because, i get bored by sitting vetti in house, and so coming to office and watching movies, chatting, orkutting.. have become a routine.. I will try to avoid the same.. ;)

Okayss...Lets all.. *Try* to Come in Time, Do our work Smartly, And Leave in time.. ;)
Happy Working !!!
