"Apparently, we don't negotiate for a pay rise anymore. We have to put forward a case for not taking a pay cut."

"I'd like a 150% rise."

'How did the 'I want you all to take a pay cut or leave' strategy go down?'

'I've got more money this week. They've given me my deductions and kept my wages.'

"I feel your pain. It's the least I can do for not paying you like a man."

'You must be out sourcing your labor overseas.'

'Micro payment? I've been on micro payment for years!'

"Here's your paycheck. I hope we'll both find it amusing."

'The salary is negotiable...take it or leave it.'

'Not for what I'm getting paid!'

'No, we haven't made a decision on your promotion. We're still looking for a reason to deny it.'

'If that's the going salary, then what's the starting salary?'

"The union is objecting to our 'grotesquely inflated' wages, do you think they'd settle for 'outrageously inflated' instead?"

"I'm tired for working for peanuts. . . !"

"I just realized my wife gets more on unemployment than I make working here!"

'Doc, when I had a look at my salary statement, I got a motivation leak'!

'It never occurred to me that I'm driving down wages by working here.'

"Whoa, don't hand me my pay cheque. I'm allergic to peanuts!"

'Thanks, but I'm not a beggar. This is just the way my boss pays me my salary.'

Some labour unions are stronger than others...

"What does 'FICA' stand for – Financially Insignificant Check Again?"

Unemployment Math

'No, I'm not wearing high heels. I look taller because the minimum wage will increase and now I can stand taller.'
