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.

    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.
