    People that say they will give 110%

    You can't.


    And if you think you can, that means you never gave 100% in the first place, because if you did, then you wouldn't need to worry about saying you will give another 10%, because you have done your best already which would indicate 100%.

    If you think you are gonna give 110%, why not 150% ?? Why not 1,000,000% ??

    I wouldn't trust someone who claimed they would do something for me 110%.



    So before you hit someone with that 110% bullshit the next time, have a think about it...

          Depends on exactly what you are talking about.

          Most people work 9-5 and that's that. And they do a good job, put in 100%. Some people do more. I start work at 6am and work two or three hours BEFORE I officially start work and fire up Skype. I also do after hours work, and work on weekends too.

          That's a bit more than 100% if you ask me.

              Those peeps are looking at it on a weekly basis.

              20% on Monday

              30% on Tues, Wed and Thurs

              Friday plan for weekend, leave early after a long lunch.

              = 110%

                  But you are still giving 100% as you are doing everything you can. Even if it is more than others. You are still giving 100% from YOU.

                  Maybe the others are only giving 90%, since they could do more also...

                                              I look at it as more of a figure of speech and think they are going to try their hardest

                                                                                          seems legit to me.

As soon as anyone is having a thought shower about getting their ducks in a row while making sure everyone is in the loop and singing from the same hymn sheet so that they can be going forward at the end of the day i'd like to feed them feet first into a woodchipper, along with the people who write ur and m8.
