Mr. Pinkley: Our company missed the flex-time trend... The day-care trend... The promoting-women-to-positions-of-real-authority trend... We even missed the stress-reducing latte bar trend and the foosball-court trend... It's time to shake this tired old company off and once and for all embrace what's really happening in America: The employee reduction trend! Cathy: Oh, great......NOW he's an innovator.

Uh-oh. This can’t be good.

Work hard they do not. Finding more ways to slack off they are guilty of.
Okay, that hurts my brain. Hard to be creative at 5:00 a.m.

My thought about Corporate America is if they can lay off people, management should not have hired so many to begin with. (Says the smug man who doesn’t have to wear a tie to work).

My MOST favorite Monday appointment — with my blankey and my LMB. Hello all I’ll be sleepin’ by the time you read this.
LOL at Billy again. He sure is a keeper. Morning Susan and lightenup.
Hi Mom! I thought about you yesterday and today :-)lightenup Premium Member almost 13 years ago
It’s about time they got rid of the slackers at that company. Granted, I had a job once that was so slow that we joked that we had seen every page on the Internet (much more possible in 2002), but there were almost constant layoffs (rightfully so).Good morning, legaleagle, Aaron, Susan, gmforde and BillYoda!Hello to GsMom, KFG, rgcviper, lindz.coop, hendelca, Mona, serenasakitty, kittycatpawsare, soonergal, lippyfish and all the other Cathy nuts rolling around here today!

Been there! Collected the unemployment cheques. It was a case of love at first sight! Could not help it at all. As soon as I saw the picture of LMB yesterday . . .

I don’t know about anybody else but I don’t think I’d want to work for someone who talks about firings/lay-offs with such a twinkle in his eye and gleeful smile on his face! Granted, these people are all slackers. But still . . . !!!!!
Good afternoon, Aaron, Dr. Billy, lightenup, K.F.G. (wherever you are! come back again soon!), Susan, rgcviper, summerdog, gmforde, serenasakitty, kittycatpawsare, Mona, hendelca, lindz.coop, Gator007, legaleagle48 and all the REST of the “Cathy” fanatics joining us here today. While I enjoy spending Sundays with my mother, I really miss all my “friends” here and I’m always glad to be back with you again on Mondays! :-)

Friends of LMB I showed your comments to him. He grinned. Honest, I swear. (Well, not swear, especially to his little ears). :-D

Well, THAT can’t be good for company morale.

Hi Cathyites!! If the company really missed ALL those other trends (especially those in panel 1), who would want to work there?
