This is spot on office politics. It's not even about how it's said: it's about who said it.
In meetings, the resulting course of action is the important outcome for the business. But performance in the dog-and-pony show is the important outcome from the employees. It's not good for the bottom line, but that's the way it is everywhere.
The ironic thing is that it's common on the filming of a TV commercial that one of the film crew members comes up with the great variation on the original script and the ad agency gets the praise and perks. Boo! Example: It wasn't the ad agency that came up with the famous Where's The Beef? line.
The people at this meeting are pretending to be "sophisticated", but they're actually a bunch of monkeys who respond better to body language than to WORDS. If they had written in the suggestions, the first guy would have gotten the credit.
@NilezII 93% of emotionnal communication is non verbal for all human beings not only the actors in this video! 7% is what we actually say, the rest is tone of voice and body language!
@polvoazul its communication of emotions only, and its a study by Mehrabian Albert Professor Emeritus of Psychology, UCLA, who wrote "Silent Messages" . and the actual numbers are 7% verbal, 38% vocal, 55% facial. look it up on wikipedia.
example a person saying: "I don't have a problem with you" but avoids eye contact, looks anxious and has her arms crossed!
literature is completely different its not a face to face situation. in a letter, words are 99% perhaps. but here it is a meeting!
Both men communicated with their hand. The first fellow's hand implied that FedEx was ordinary. But, the second guy's hand implied that FedEx was the superior choice. I agree, the first fellow didn't say it right.
when i saw this commercial i flipped! reason being my dad does exactly what the bosse does all the time, even b4 this commercial was even made..and when i showed my family they confirmed it and couldn't stop laughing. In fact he still does it til this day even without knowing he's doin it...that is until i do the hand gestures, and of course like the boss he denies it. I'm not BSing.
my production manager was the same.. fuckin' cuntflap would take the log sheets in the meetings just to show what he's been doing in the studio... in fact it was my ass being grilled 14 hours a day.... the look on this guy's face after having his idea stolen is as close to reality as it gets
It's funny, but the reality is that the inside of their corporation is very much like this... Stolen ideas, and the guy who deserves a promotion gets shafted.
Fed Ex is the worst. They through my package over the 3 story building. My ASUS motherboard was destroyed. I filed damage report. Fed Ex paid ASUS not me. Fed Ex told me. they break things all the time. Like its ok to break computers all fucking day long. ASUS did not pay me. I reported to ASUS 100 times. nothing was done. I will cancel all Fed Ex delivery from now on.
Consumer warning. how you love you computer screen? in a billion bits. NO PAYMENT WILL NOT BE ALLOWED! I hate Fed Express!SHIT
I was just in a meeting today with a bunch of salesholes and I kept thinking of this ad. They would repeat everything that I said verbatim..just because they wanted to hear it come out of their own pretentious, saleshole jargon filled, unattractive mouths. Salespeople are the scum of the earth.
We could switch to a more scalable environment by resourcing our datacenter. Train our IT professionals to provide sessions, laying foundation for Service Oriented Architecture, and revitalise our intrinsic motivated interaction to express our customer concern.
I use this commercial to show my wife what her employees do when she says something. They all wait to hear her opinion and then agree with whatever she says just because she is the boss. Moral of the story, don't listen to "yes men."
