'Role reversed and then dumped - Please help.'

"I'm going to make you a stay-at-home mom."

'The 'insourcing' will go ahead and some jobs will be off to Leeds or Manchester, but I think I'll be safe...'

"This is not permanent...we'll be back as soon as things start to look up."

"I figure if I was still employed, I wouldn’t get to spend all this time with you!"

"It used to Casual Friday. Now it's Furlough Friday."

Very Difficult Conversations

"Lost my job. But I'm pretty sure it's around here somewhere."

"...But of course we'll still be friends on Facebook!"

"Ron didn't realise he was so popular."

'Let's keep in mind that although quitters never win, they often manage to avoid litigation.'

"My career's in shreds, but on the bright side, so are my files."

Between Offices

"They retired me. Just like that. Seems I'm no good over 55 mph anymore." "How does that make you feel?" "Like I want to bash my head against a wall!"

"Ralph's smart car not only drives better than he does, it also works better. So we fired him and hired the car."

"Dear, did something happen at the office?"

'Don't bother cleaning out your desk. We'll be hiring you back as a consultant for half the salary and no benefits.'

"Wait, you're firing me?! But I was Time magazine’s Person of the Year!"

"You had the power to leave all along - just click your heels three times, grab your coat, and sneak out without saying goodbye."

'Don't worry about your job at the office, Sweetie. They declared bankrupty today.'

'I knew if we waited long enough, heaven would downsize.'

"I used to think" if I don't go to work the world will fall apart. . . but it fell apart anyway."

"We're all in the same boat, except it's more like a life raft than an actual boat."

"First the good news - one of us hasn't been made redundant."

"How have you managed to keep your job?"

'The golden eggs are great... but I need you to lay a golden parachute.'

"I was downgraded to junk status at work today."

"My boss had security escort me out of the office today. I'm worried this means I won't be getting a bonus."

"You're fired, Withron. I got a terrific deal on a handful of ballpoints."
