I once had a manager who thought he was motivating his employees by giving out certificates that actually said “Attaboy”. Rookie move by the first manager I ever had who was younger than I was.
I had a supervisor who thought to inspire with the comment, " You know, when I see you all at your machines I think of you as the captains of your ships, and I’m the Admiral." His nickname, until he left, was “The Admiral.” (He also admonished two deaf employees who were working together and conversing with “Hey, hands are for working, not for talking.”)

Toughest thing there to throw is the water bottle, the sloshing water makes it hard to aim. But someone got great lift on it.

I’m thinking that Andrew is the only known employee of MMM fit enough to heave that jug of water that way.

True… But it does look like an interesting way to relive bottled-up stress.Hmmm… They might make another profit yet!

Rita, as usual, mistakes the bleeding obvious for special instinct.

It’s the cup of coffee that surprises me. Why would anyone waste a perfectly good cup of coffee. Must be decaf.

Interesting that the thrown computer is a Dell, but about a decade old. Does that mean Scott’s computer is that old?
