Blackberry’s thorn (Mannerisms)

Blackberry’s thorn

When your boss says: ‘Here’s your Blackberry’ do you:

a) Blush with pleasure and mumble your thanks?
b) Wonder if you’ll be able to work it?
c) Ask for a pay-rise?

The right answer is c).

‘Here’s your Blackberry’ really means: ‘Your customers can now reach you 24/7’.

Instead of working a 40 hour week you’re now on-call 168 hours a week. That deserves a mega pay-raise
