My biggest pet peeve on the job

You guys know when you you send a deck and the VP/Principal says:

"Thanks for pulling this together."

I know they probably don't mean it this way - and I should be grateful they are thanking me in the first place - but it seems they're suggesting that the pages already existed in some magical "page repository," and the extent of my work / value-add has been simply aggregating these pre-existing pages into a uniform deck.

Fuck off!

"Thanks for putting this together" would be much better and takes no additional effort to say.
