Workers Mugs

"It was tough at first. Now I hardly ever get the urge to check my e-mail."

'It's called playing. Provides one with a sense of accomplishment - without actually accomplishing anything.'

"I told them I couldn't survive on what they were paying me."

Darnit, I missed the train...

Rudy, I'm thinking of replacing you with Gunther the illegal immigrant. What?! Businessman of the Year. Armstrong Maynard. Relax. I haven't yet made up my mind. I'll give you a chance to underbid him. Gunther says he'll work for $1 a day, from 3am to 11pm. Can you beat that? Yeah. I can turn you in. Tsk tsk ... Gunther would never say something like that.

You wanted to see me again, boss? Yes. I realized you never gave me my Christmas bonus. What're you talking about? You're the boss. You give me a bonus, I don't give you a bonus. Exactly. The key word in employer-employee relationship is relationship. One-sided relationships never work, Rudy. I've calculated the amount you would have paid me if you hadn't been taking me for granted for 16 years. Very bad man.

Curate talking to miners

'If CEO pay packets aren't a problem, why doesn't everyone get one?'

'Of course it's not your fault, Smedley, but someone has to accept the responsibility.'

'I don't care about school, Dad: I want to be a Worker like you when I grow up...'

"How come politicians don't earn mimimum wage. If anybody does minimum work, it's them."

"Not the best motivational statement I've ever seen!"

'What bothers me about these meetings is even though it's work, I have the nagging feeling I ought to leave and get back to work.'

"You've got your corner office, so what more do you want?"

'Do you think, perhaps, that we could start shooting for a few longer-term goals around here?'

"Tight......this isn't tight...now a New York City apartment......that's tight."

"This is a merit-based organization! Can't you see I’ve hired the very best and most qualified yes-men money can buy?"

'What sort of mission statement is that?'

'I'll be late for dinner, dear. I'm up to my neck in paperwork.'

"The good old days of eating the washing off the line are all gone methinks: The farmer has bought an electric dryer..."

'Finally! A meeting with one of the bigwigs.'

Polly txt speak

"It's clear to me that you want to go far with this company."

...And he calls himself the 'Green' Giant...

"How's everybody doing? I'm not boring you, am I?"

"Worst case of month-end burnout I ever saw."

"Our light bill is astronomical living next to a black hole."

12 O'clock was 'I'm a tractor time.'

'The lads at the office still talk about the day you told the boss what to do with his job...'

'I hate leaving work when I feel I could have delegated more.'

'No, your guess isn't as good as mine.'

"Women Supporting Women!"

"Don't flutter your little wings on company time."

Party of two? No, it was quite a large party.

'Let me worry about the one percent inspiration, you just take care of the 99 percent perspiration.'
