September 30, 2007Poison Phrase: She’s unpleasant on the phone

Filed under: Poison Phrase of the Week by merylrunion |

Penny, a new hire, was talking to her boss Alister, when Alister brought up the receptionist. He said,

- I’m amazed that even after ten years at the company, she’s unpleasant on the phone.

No one had ever bothered to mention the issue to the receptionist. That’s what makes this a Poison Phrase. Deliver your messages to the correct address.
