Company bonus?
After busting our humps and being told "It will pay off in your holiday bonuses" all year, our company president just told us no monetary bonuses, but we get "Twisted Thursdays" (soft pretzels on Thursday for a year) AND Dunkin Donuts coffee sporadically to! Oh happy day!
My Christmas cheer has not diminished, but I am giggling at my desk thinking of this gem of a quote from the 1989 movie classic, "National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation" starring the irrepressible Chevy Chase.
Clark:
Hey. If any of you are looking for any last-minute gift ideas for me, I
have one. I'd like Frank Shirley, my boss, right here tonight. I want
him brought from his happy holiday slumber over there on Melody Lane
with all the other rich people and I want him brought right here, with
a big ribbon on his head, and I want to look him straight in the eye
and I want to tell him what a cheap, lying, no-good, rotten,
fore-fleshing, low-life, snake-licking, dirt-eating, inbred,
overstuffed, ignorant, blood-sucking, dog-kissing, brainless, d*ckless,
hopeless, heartless, fat-a**, bug-eyed, stiff-legged, spotty-lipped,
worm-headed sack of monkey s*** he is. Hallelujah. Holy s***. Where's
the Tylenol?
Re: Company bonus?
Did I mention we also got a card from him with a picture of his kid?
I was sort of hoping there may be a check of some sort in the envelope. But no. Just a picture of his kid.
I'm very glad to have a job and I count my blessings, but sometimes I wonder.
I knew I saw this somewhere! That's awesome!
IMO, soft pretzels are very similar to the jams and jellies of the month club.
Similarly, just after an announcement that no managers get their annual cost of living pay increase this year, our "big boss" sent an e-mail out to all employees asking them to donate to a canned food drive.
Riiiight. Great timing for optimal participation and support.
