"Work smarter not harder"....is that anything like, "Know the difference between doing things right and doing the right thing"?

PHB comes from Dilbert: Pointy Haired Boss. Those managers who wander
around in a clueless state of perceived self-importance offering
wonderful platitudes like "Work smarter not harder" and such. Generally
they wind up being the chickens discussed in a related response.

Re: RE: Taking your time when a crisis occurs:
Yes, Rodd, you are right. There are times when being blunt is warranted.
I do it now - I couldn't a few months ago. At my last employer I was
very very good at it and my boss let us do our jobs without interference.
However, the real question is, what's PHB?

Title: RE: Taking your time when a crisis occurs
The
best one happened over the weekend. On Friday night I'm heading downtown
for a night of carting around my coworkers while they get hammered. The
phone goes off at 9:45pm and it's the boss saying to my coworker (sa) that he
thinks there's something wrong with the database and the site, can you check it
out? (Why is he calling the sa and not the dba??) So we rush to
the office and voila, everything is FINE. Turns out he did the same thing
to someone else, called for a bogus reason. He was making up an excuse to
call someone to play POKER by pretending there was an emergency here at
work.
Sheesh.
