Overheard the conversations (in my head).
In AIG:
“Can I get a raise? I did have a big part in driving the company nearly bankrupt, you know!!!”
“Nah, that takes too long to earn the money if I give you a raise. How about a ONE-MILLION-DOLLAR bonus? You have direct deposit, don’t you? The money can be yours tomorrow.”
In our world:
“Can I get a raise?”
“Are you out of your #$#%$$# mind? Did you know how tough the market is right now? You should be down on all fours thanking me you still have a job. Now, go get me a cup of coffee, 2 creams, 1 Splenda. Chop! Chop!”

I agree. But the suicide should be long and painful.
The crazy thing is I don’t even think they had to ask.
This AIG situation is a terrible thing. It really make me made. Thanks for stopping by. Take care.
Ha! I’m pretty sure that is verbatim the conversation I had with my boss about a month ago!
The second part that is…not the part about the 1 million dollar bonus.
