would your boss call you "the employee" to other people?

[bednobs]

why is it whenever you see footballers or club managers interviewed they refer to each other as "the manager" or "the player" When becks was taking about whether fabio copella would include him in the world cup squad, he always referred to hoim as the manager, Same as when rooney or ferguson were interviewed over their situation, they would always say "the player" or "the manager" Why not "wayne" or "Mr rooney" or "wayne rooney"?
If i was talking to someone else about my manager (and they knew my managers name) i would refer to them by name, as she would me.
It just seems very rude to me

i;ve just been called midget lover by my boss so i think i would welcome "employee"

One of my colleagues met our CEO and he called the staff "cost units". He`s such a charming (little) man

so in my example, it would be like my boss talking about her computer i suppose. I don't think she would worry about calling it "the computer" to the other person - it's not going to hurt its feelings

i worked at a place one where the boss snapped and pushed my colleague into a cupboard. As much as my boss pisses me off sometimes, i always think "at least she's never locked me in a cupboard"

My boss is likely to call me 'the sarcastic, grumpy bu**ger' or 'trouble' or 's*** stirrer'... the employee sounds really quite reasonable

he calls him "Wayne" and "Wayne Rooney" plenty in this
