你就 把 他 当作 小猫小狗 照顾就好 了嘛
“You can just treat him like a cat or dog.”
“You're really desperate to please your boss.”
“Just don't overthink it—treat him like a pet you need to look after, so you don't stress yourself out.”
Not a literal insult, but a typical piece of street-smart, humorous advice. It suggests that working professionals reframe catering to difficult bosses or elders as simply 'caring for low-maintenance pets,' reflecting working-class self-deprecation and pragmatic coping strategies to relieve workplace stress.
