'The suicide pact shows I can work with a group.'

'Miss Walker, bring a new pair of underpants right this minute!'

'My boss took a pre-emtive strike... he fired me!'

"This is the worst job in the whole, entire world! You know, I can't see how anybody would ever want this job."

"Before you speak to the manager, we want to congratulate you on being our one millionth irate customer."

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

"Another week another dollar, Jenkins"

'And remember to emphasize we're giving them the opportunity to find a better job.'

'Germaine, what did you do with my desk?'

'What's wrong now?'

'Bit of a staffing problem, Boss. We haven't got any left.'

"Why yes, there was an extra five thousand dollars in my pay check last week...er...I thought it was a raise."

"You're hired. Now, I'll show you your desk, the break room, and the dented wall you're allowed to beat your head against."

'Once, long ago, I thought I was wrong...but it turned out I was mistaken.'

"Yes, social media's a great way to express your opinions - shame you feel 'ignored and unappreciated by an aloof, faceless boss' - but that's because I haven't a clue who you are or what you do around here!"
