Boss's Bestie Mugs

"I have good news and bad news, Tom. The good news is good for me. The bad news is bad for you."

'I like the way you handle responsibility, McWit, so I'm going to blame some stuff on you.'

'What's wrong now?'

"Yes, you have given 100% to this company. But, over the five years you've worked here that's only 20% a year."

Well, I see Wilcox is finally using his head...as a paperweight!

"Since you somehow managed to get past my moat, I'll give you a few minutes."

'He's faxing like there's no tomorrow.'

"It's no good Charlie, I'm done for! You've got to go it alone, Charlie. You've got to go on and nail that presentation! Nail it for me!"

'I should have told you, every Friday senior partners get to do the Prosecco Polonaise.'

Bring your problems to work day.

Your supervisor says you have been giving 100 every week, but at the rate of 20 a day.

If you know that you would benefit from a 15 minute nap during the day, do your best to take one.

"When I make a joke, that light will turn on. That's your cue to laugh."

'Have you heard the news about Susan in logistics?...'

STRIP Hambone: Looking at problems

"You're probably wondering why I called you in here today..."

"I can't believe it! In all my years in corporate business, yours must be the worst case of paper cuts I have ever seen."

"No need to rush. Take all weekend if you must."

"He's not good with criticism."

"This is Abramson, our new piñata."
