Pandemic Job Loss Mugs

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

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

Danger Slow Sand.

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

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

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

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

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

"Dear, did something happen at the office?"

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

"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!"

"How have you managed to keep your job?"

"The bad news is we've fired 80% of your office. The good news is we're fixing the coffee machine."

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

"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."

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

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

"Pendleton, as of noon today your services will no longer be required. Meanwhile, keep up the good work."

Fries and kids

"Ever since the layoffs, I feel like we've been doing the work of twenty clowns."
