One that I like to tell my security guys:
"You were the one that wanted this job!"
"You were the one that wanted this job!"

nice. i think i need to organize "ally rallies" like in the restaurant biz. there are three employees at this store and rarely, if ever, do we all work at once, but man...a good ol' fashioned ally rally sounds AWESOME(!) right about now.
"NOW LET'S GET OUT THERE AND MAKE THE CUSTOMER WANT IT! THEY'RE ASKING YOU TO SELL THEM A PHONE! DO IT! LET'S GET A "SELL CELL" ON THREE! GO GET 'EM TEAM!"

How about "You're not just selling phones, you're selling yourself!"
I'd probably get paid better selling myself 😉

This one is definately my favorite. I once had a manager who said it on a daily basis.
...
I had a manager say that to me once. I trapped him in a series of questions that kept him from every saying that to me again.

I have to be curious about how this went about...
I'll assume that's what you meant.
Unfortunately, everything I said it true. It went like this.
him: if you have time to lean you have time to clean
me: I have to lean, I have a bad hip
him: yeah right
me: seriously, I do. It's from a jet skiing accident. I have a jetski coming off a wave land on my jet ski, right on my leg
him: whoa, you should've sued that guy
me: it was my dad
him: haha, you should sue him anyway
me: my father died last year from cancer
him: ......... 😕
And he walked away. He never said anything about leaning ever again to me.
It was not my intent to start that conversation or...

Thanks for the correction;
It's been a long week, even my fingers are stuttering I guess.
I had a co-worker before lead in to a similar situation, but he thought it was a joke and later repeated.
When all said and done, I got fired he got a capped tooth

"Don't f*$k up!"
"Go f*$k yourself!"
"Respond positively to change..."
"Call me big daddy when you back that thing up!"
No joke on any of the above...

I guess it's different since I'm not in a sales position... 😉
BTW, Glengarry-Glenross is an awesome movie!
