Pearls Before Swine by Stephan Pastis for August 05, 2024

Rats

That sounds like so many left wingers my employer hired and then fired a few days later.

Rat is Wreck-it-Ralph, in spirit.

They might call in a vet to fix Rat.

Rat is too light for heavy work and too heavy for light work!

Need to stop while you’re ahead.

Is that like the “Go-get-er”? The guy who takes his wife to work in the morning, then in the afternoon, he has to go-get-er???

“You don’t want to hire anybody, do you”, often heard by interviewers from persons who do not really want to work but are there to say they were just to keep their unemployment!

Rat too honest. Only way to gets any job is to learns how to lies.

Maybe leave the second part of his answer for the exit interview.

Live to Work … Work to Live … You be the Judge ;-)

My role in the company? I roll with the flow while eating rolls.

Wonder Why!

Shocker.

Next, in walks Andy Capp for his interview. After, interviewer opens desk drawer and drinks booze to deaden the pain of his job.

Never be the fix-it guy!!!! Anything and everything can show up on your desk, mostly unrelated to your job description, and you won’t get compensation. Not a bonus, not a gift, not even a thank you note. That’s why the government and big corporations end up having the worst of the worst. If you show skills and goodwill, you end up being abused. You have to say “Sorry, not my job” or “Not sure… check with my manager” while you try to finish your crossword puzzle :D

Come on! He was honest! That’s a rarity these day!

Ah, you’re management material.

Why WOULD you get the job after that? Worst interviewee ever.

Interviewing for a maintenance position Rat?

I am impressed that Rat wore a tie to the interview.

Gee, I wonder why.

Fix-it guys like Rat are usually related to the owner of the company.

Does the HR guy look like the Late Sports Center guy Scott Van Pelt to anyone else but me?

I am currently the only employee in a sub-department called “Fix It.” There’s even a big sign that says, “Fix It.” The usual work force for that is 2 people, a part time and a full- time. Since the full-timer quit last year, it’s just part-time me. I’m pretty well swamped.

I had 2 interviews in one week. Cracked jokes at both, and got offers from both. I realized I can’t “out serious” anybody

Exactly why they kept me around. I was a Vaccinator weather they wanted it or not.

A Andy Capp answer.

Man, I’m so glad I’m retired.

Hey guys, let’s stop the bickering and enjoy the strip for what it is: the funnies.

rats…

I hate “role-playing” in job interviews.

Also, the lefties are the ones who are the first to spew the hate and resort to name calling.

Like Oranghair has been qualified for ANY job he gave….to himself

Nope, not gonna work.

If it ain’t broke, don’t hire Rat?

Never offer too much information.

I’ve had many bosses who might have been better if they were fixed.

He didn’t want the job

Ya don’t say.
