I joke about firing people sometimes, but I am not a manager and never want to be managing anyone. I only say it to people who know that I have no power over them which is the only time this joke is OK.
I do IT at a semiconductor foundry, and only us and managers walk around with laptops. I don't even have to say anything, and people get in panic mode and scramble to look like they are working until I say don't worry, I'm just IT. I won't say a word.
I’m an industrial engineer and I have to constantly reassure people that I have no power over them
