- jamiek88 4y agoI had a boss who would sign those office cards that went round with ‘best wishes, Dave’. It didn’t matter what it was for. Birthday? Best wishes, Dave. New born? Condolences on your loss? Retirement? Best wishes, Dave. His name was Albert.
- vineyardmike 4y agoWas this a well established joke or an indifference and rude manager? It could go either way, and is entirely dependent on your perception of the person. Regardless, I find myself as I age unsure of how to respond to people and default to similar behavior. Unplanned pregnancy? Is that a surprise miracle or an unwanted interloper? “Wow you’re in for an adventure, I’m happy to support you”.
