If someone tells you it's a two minute walk to some nearby shops, don't believe them!

Do. Not. Interrupt. Lord. Sugar
![]() If you're being told off by your employer, the best thing to do is to just sit there quietly and let them finish. If you have anything to add, you only do so when they allow you to speak. |

#83 If Karren/Nick don't like you, they will follow you around making unimpressed faces all the time in an effort to throw you off your game and put-off anyone your trying to work with, so they can then later talk to the camera to inform the viewers why you are crap and how you could have done things better.

How much we get ripped off and taken for being complete mugs by the likes of inscrupulous salesmen and women.
I was so shocked by some of the tasks in this series. Why is it considered to be so clever to rip people off? As my mother used to say a bargain isn't a bargain unless you really want it. LS only likes the money makers. |

That the correct response to being fired is "thank you for the opportunity".
That resume is really pronounced ray-zoo-may That Lord Sugar is a *****. |

That the door to the boardroom really needs a handle! It must be covered in Sir Alan's fingerprints.

that since one of Lord Sugars advisers is a woman it makes little sense to show that you hold that 50% of the human race in contempt
and that if there are cameras watching you don't say you didn't do something you were filmed doing |

I learnt that saying discipline is something you go '****ing crazy for' and then proceeding to demand no one swears will not garner enough respect from your underlings to actually stop them from swearing, and that forcing your creative team to remove their ties will not actually suddenly make them creative, or in any way make them want to help you win your task as PM.

Those who claim to be the cleverest and have the most to say about themselves tend to be the ones with the least amount of common sense...and also tend to get fired first proving that bulls**t most certainly doesn't baffle brains. Unless your name's Stuart 'Blags' Baggs in which case a field of ponies will get you a long way. |

That you can be fired by Lord Sugar even though you don't actually work for him.
![]() That you can lie on your CV and still end up winning the show. |

You can't do right for doing wrong. To be a success you must have the ability to take charge, be well liked, do well whilst at the same not letting anyone else take the credit, scotch your chances or stab you in the back. However don't take charge too much as you'll be accused of trying to be a one man band and being a non team player. Sit back too much and you'll get fired for not being a team player and not making any contribution. Put yourself forward and fail and it's your neck on the line. Don't put yourself forward and you get fired for sitting back and doing nothing. Be too nice and people will ride over you and get you fired. Be a back stabber and everyone will turn against you and get you fired. The whole concept of the show is flawed. You can't expect people to work together when they are all in stiff competition with one another fighting for a place against each other. How can you work proactively when everyone is out to cut one another's throat? It just doesn't work. |
