more work”

thought to your

suggestion”

“I have not started

to work on it”

“Tomorrow, first thing

in the morning”

“I am not getting it done...

At least not tomorrow !”

“I am very open to

views”

“I have already decided,

you do as you are told”

6

“It must be a

miscommunication”

“Actually I told you

differently”

7

“I will call a meeting

and discuss”

“I have no time, we

will talk about it later”

“That’s a good

question”

“I don’t know the

answer and I don’t

know anything about it”

9

“You will answer for it if

anything goes wrong!”

“I will back you up

every step of the way”

10

“Make a list of work that

you do and I will see

how I can help you”

“You have to find a way

out, no help from me”

11

“Even if you told me earlier,

it would not make any

difference!”

“You should have told

me earlier”
