There are times when I feel like George in this situation, and I’ve learned to ask the person giving me information to pause for a bit so I can take a moment to understand the ask and have a moment to write it down. A boss who says “what’s the matter with you George; you’ve got to pay attention” and results in your employees not knowing the assignment, is a weak boss.

@AlphaQHard

Жыл бұрын

I think a lot of the time bosses are rude or patronizing in these situations is when the employee acts submissive and apologetic. When someone acts vulnerable people with weak slimy characters and more power than them will always try to flex their power because it fuels their ego. If you act confident no matter what you’re a lot less likely to be “picked on” because the same people with weak characters dont like being confronted or stood up to, it damages their ego. Like they say, high school never ends.

Fun to see Noel from KACL (recurring "Frasier" character), actor Patrick Kerr. This is one of the good longer episodes they did on "Seinfeld". And it's one of at least three stories "Seinfeld" made in which George seems insane to someone. Lastly, I love the ending with the farmer's daughter, Susie: "Goodbye, Norman! Goodbye!" (it's been said that the actress said Norman instead of Newman by mistake, and they just kept it in the episode that way because it was funny).

Just listen to the music of the traffic in the city. Linger on the sidewalk where the neon signs are pretty.

just think, if George was truthful from the start, told his boss in the bathroom, he was outside waiting for him, came in to check on him, he wouldn't be in that postition. It's a lesson to be learned from watching a fool going through that situation

"quite a project"

Typical meetings with the bosses, a waste of time. They just like to hear themselves speak to subordinates and justify their positions in management. When it is time to make the budget cuts, they are the first to go. Shows how irrelevant they really are to the company.

The guy at payroll is Michael the blind pianist from Curb

No computers at these desks is driving me crazy this doesn’t feel that long ago

Frustrating and funny. Loved this episode.

When you're alone and life is making you lonely you can always go------cray cray.

I swear, Seinfeld the show was based in my life. I even went out wint a one dressed lady. A Romanian with one dress only and one bathing suit. That thing was about to disappeared in the water cause it was worn off

George should have had Jerry call in and say George had an accident, slipped and hit his head on a urinal and he was so fired up about the assignment that he remembers you giving this assignment and he doesn't want to disappoint everyone, I'm calling to inquire about all the details because frankly, George isn't making a lot of sense and he keeps singing about downtown.
