Excuseorizing

Yes, it is the newest fashion in management accountability. If your boss comes to you and tells you that you didn't get something done properly, don't just let feedback sit there loooking plain and lonely. Take the time to excuseorize it. You too can be prone to attribution and provide all of the ego protecting reasons why your feedback is just not pretty enough to be taken seriously. Your feedback might look nice in a "nobody else has to do this" necklace with a matching pair of "this isn't fair" earrings. You might need to add some, "I feel harassed" bracelets and an attractive "they have it out to get me" ring. Now if your feedback happens to be an annual review, don't worrying, you can get excuseories proportional to the enormity of this annual event. We recommend the "they don't have the right to judge me" bow tie with matching "it's not my fault" vest. Your feedback will look smashing wrapped in the "I wasn't trained enough" tux. If you just aren't sure how to really make your feedback stand out, call around to your coworkers to tell them about your feedback. They can give you all of the best ways to excuseorize it. After all, they didn't have to control the measures at their location. Your feedback needs to dress up in the finest "management is out to get me" shoes with the matching "they are trying to force me out" handbag. Really good feedback, like your little black dress, deserves the "I have a lawyer" shawl and maybe a "I called the government" tiara. Make sure your feedback gets the public attention it so desperately deserves and excuseorize it today!
