...(deep breath) drink on the job, fall asleep on the job, fall off the radar, off the ladder, off the wagon, expect more for less, genuinely think less is more, shirk responsibility, responsibly pass the buck, don’t pick up the phone, emigrate to Facebook every 20 minutes, forget where anything is, forget the meeting, to take notes, to follow up, forget themselves, forget others, never say sorry, apologise too much, get jealous over nothing, think nothing about  it, sell out, pass out, put out, salt the sugar, spike the tea, hog the conversation, hog the limelight, hog the last biscuit in the tin, talk too much too loudly for too long, roll eyes, roll the dice, press the wrong button, press every button, panic at the slightest thing, believe the hype, take the credit, sneer, leer, smear, and then honestly seriously genuinely wonder how anything ever gets done around here without them.

And that’s just the boardroom.
