This is not about a deal or a bargain or a freebie. It's just to make you chuckle or assist you if you need to respond to a letter at work.
Have to write a letter of recommendation for that fired employee? - Here are a few suggested phrases:
For the chronically absent:
"A man like him is hard to find."
"It seemed her career was just taking off."
For the office drunk:
"I feel his real talent is wasted here."
"We generally found him loaded with work to do."
"Every hour with him was a happy hour."
For an employee with no ambition:
"He could not care less about the number of hours he had to put in."
"You would indeed be fortunate to get this person to work for you."
For an employee who is so unproductive that the job is better left unfilled:
"I can assure you that no person would be better for the job."
For an employee who is not worth further consideration as a job candidate:
"I would urge you to waste no time in making this candidate an offer of employment."
"All in all, I cannot say enough good things about this candidate or recommend him too highly."
For a stupid employee:
"There is nothing you can teach a man like him."
"I most enthusiastically recommend this candidate with no qualifications whatsoever."
For a dishonest employee:
"Her true ability was deceiving."
"He's an unbelievable worker."

Now that the one you use when you want rid of them yourself! :) Thanks for the laugh, micharch.

I worked beside a woman like that for years. How she got away with it I'll never know because the bosses all thought she was wonderful and a hard worker! The only person I heard say that was her LOL.

This is my favorite. What's worse is the kind that's dumb but thinks they are smart.

That's what she did. She started the rumor and it got around and became accepted wisdom. Betcha. :)

Phew, does this take me back! I worked with a girl that spent so much time away from her desk we called her The Invisible Woman because any time you looked at her chair you couldn't see her LOL.

I think she must have bred because I used to work with an office boy like that. He would literally hide to avoid working. The stationery cupboard was his favorite bolthole.
"I most enthusiastically recommend this candidate with no qualifications whatsoever." LOL! I've worked with that guy. :)
