I really shouldn't have taken the last cup of coffee!

[Bob Stills]

Gees! Our new CEO takes passing the torch seriously.

All I said was, "Do you have any data to back that up?"

[jvfabian]

Gee all I said was that I had to cut costs so there is no more free coffee!

[mmadej]

Sorry I'm late for the meeting. I had a few fires I needed to put out.

[Brad Kenney]

I'm sorry, but somehow this just doesn't feel like a team-building exercise!

So Alberto, how is the investigation by Congress going?

[anitaenglish]

So how did they take the news they will no longer have a company gas card?

[UPRATL]

You do realize that's wet paint your cowering against don't you?

[Mike McCreedy]

Well, that isn't how other companies fire people!
