Receiving A Raise Pillows

'I'm prepared to offer you a raise, if you work hard. I knew there'd be a catch.'

"Helen brings home our second, third and fourth incomes."

Busy office.

'I hear you got your increase.' - 'Yes, that proves my theory, if you whine enough, you get anything you want.'

"I know you think this sort of thing is nonsense sir, and I hate to prove you wrong. But according to my crystal ball, you're not going to give me the raise I'm about to ask for."

Guess which "squeaky wheel" got another raise.

'I'll review your salary next spring.'

"Is this about your raise?"

'Enough is enough. We're sick of being overworked and underpaid.'

"Oh, I can be dependable, and for another £200 a week, I can be productive too."

'I didn't get the salary increase, but I've been moved one parking space closer to the entrance.'

"Mom, I got the raise. They moved me to the second floor."

"And keep in mind that the only stupid question is the one that isn't asked. Discussion?"

'My salary increase got a few oo-hs.. but no ah-hs..'

'Gibson, find out what she does over there and offer her twice as much to do it over here.'

"I knew there would be a catch."

'A raise? Listen, Pomeroy -- you know how I feel about clumsy attempts to fine-tune the economy!'

"I'd like a raise, I can't afford to binge drink on what you pay me."

'Don't keep complimenting them on their work, or before you know it they'll be asking for a rise.'

'Have you seen these figures?' - 'I refuse to answer, on the grounds it may effect my next pay rise.'

Think Big - 'I want a rise - a big one.'

'I know money can't buy happiness. That's why I use credit cards.'

'I did get a raise. Could that be it?'

"I agree you're due for a raise, and when you leave my office, you'll still be due for a raise!"

How Will You Spend Your Extra $5 an Hour?

"That's how my boss looks when I ask for a raise."

'You got a raise? Does this mean some of it will trickle down to me?'

"A delightful arrangement Miss Chalmers..."

GP pay award wheel.

'I'm getting a mixed message.'

'A raise? Has all the media doom and gloom about the economy been wasted on you?'

"You've hit your goals so well that I wanted to bring by your Christmas bonus."

"He's throwing a temper tantrum. He claims his kids get what they want when they throw them, so it may get him that raise he wants."

"The boss is not available. You could ask his computer for a raise, but that's down, too."

It's Dr. Sadie. Go ahead, caller. I got a bonus for the first time in years. Would it be selfish to spend it on myself instead of on Christmas gifts? The age-old question: Do I enjoy the fruits of my labor or give them to the losers and ingrates who did absolutely nothing to earn them? Fly yourself to Maui and send them a photo of you eating a seven-course meal. That'll encourage them to work harder and earn their own bonuses. Encouragement is the best gift you can give. I really love your show,
