The answer to your question is “yes.” Until someone above me in the management chain says “no.” At which point, the answer would be “no,” but for now, the answer is definitely “yes.” Does that make sense?

This is no good. You did a horrible job. Really, really horrible; I’m very disappointed. But hang tight, because once the rest of the team weighs in, we just might find that you actually did a pretty good job, after all; in fact, this might be the best thing ever. But we just might come full circle again to see that you’ve truly done a really, really bad job; so bad that you just might be fired. So, really horrible job, really good job, maybe you’re fired. In that order. Thanks!

This work is great. But here’s what I think my manager will think: this could be better. But here’s what I think my manager’s manager will think: this is perfect. But here’s what I think my manager’s manager’s manager will think: this is the worst thing I’ve ever seen in my life and it makes me literally want to jump off a bridge. I’m not sure how to proceed and, as you can see, my face has frozen in place. I can hear words coming out of my mouth, but I don’t think my face is moving. Or is it? Please confirm.

This could be a good idea, could be a bad idea. Could be the worst idea in the world, could be the best. It’s definitely one of those two, or somewhere in between. In fact, the one thing I’m sure about is that it’s an idea. It’s definitely an idea, that’s either really good, or really bad, or somewhere in between. I hope this meeting clarified that. OK, I just got an email from Christine, saying this definitely isn’t an idea. Yeah, it definitely isn’t.

Who am I kidding? Nothing I say matters. So I might as well speak in a Swedish-based language which I’ve invented myself, through many months of hard work during my lunch breaks.
