If On Payday Your Boss Insists On Stuffing Your Paycheck Into Your Mouth, Don't Rock The Boat Day!

In today's shit-stained economy, the American dream is all about taking what you can get and clutching it to your chest like it was a Korean baby. So your boss insists on pushing you up against your cubicle wall and forcing your lips and teeth to part and make way for the check bunched up in his fingertips while he twitches his upper lip and says, "Yeahh...yeahhh...uh..." What are you gonna do, sue?

No way they'd fire you. But they'd fire your boss. And they'd dissolve your department. And they'd keep you on for a year or however long it takes to avoid another lawsuit. But after that you can be sure you'd be out of a job. Sure, you might be loaded from the settlement you got in the harrassment suit. But you'll never work in middle management again. And then who will you matter to?

Happy If On Payday Your Boss Insists On Stuffing Your Paycheck Into Your Mouth, Don't Rock The Boat Day!
