Working Daze by John Zakour and Scott Roberts for March 09, 2024

They do need a lot of backscrathing.

They could play “swords” with them. That could be a destresser.

What I have found to be the best back scratcher is not a backscratcher at all, it’s a fresh out of the box toilet bowl brush. Eventually it gets found by wife and she desecrates the thing, making me have to buy a new “backscratcher”.

That’s what ya poor peasants is gets. Now CEO is off to another vacation overseas. Works hard ya lazyones. Not tries to sleeps on job when CEO is away ya lazy good for notheengs.

Back scratchers are often the booby prize for carnival games of chance.

That would be considered generous in some circles.

A stress ball would have been better.

Jay, Ed, Roy… Might I suggest a place where you can shov… ‘place’ those back scratchers?

Gentlefolk, those make very good atlatls … also decent miniature catapults and trebuchets …

Rita calls a general meeting of her staff and opens up her robe…the staff faints, and she turns to dana and says there they are relaxed.

Worked at a small company that decided to offer massages to employees as a perk. (Actually, it was an excuse to allow a friend of a VP to make money at our facility.) You had to schedule in advance – and we noticed that the only slots available to non-managers were after regular work hours, and the masseuse could only do a maximum of five massages per day. So mostly managers enjoyed these massages, since the masseuse’s session limit was usually reached before regular work hours ended.

Better than backbiting I guess. A nice cuppa chamomile te would be better.

Try telling the staff that there will be redundancy and to come discuss if one wants to leave/retire/discuss and then go on holiday for two weeks.

A good back scratcher is worth its weight in gold.

When I worked at the Sharper Image corporate office we got little morale boosters once or twice. The one I remember us a silicone bristled basting brush with a 6" metal handle. A woman from HR had to go around the the office handing them out individually,

Reserved parking spots, big bonuses, executive retreats (eh, sorry I meant "planning sessions. It’s just coincidental that they’re held in tropical paradises), and all the other perks that management gives itself. Our CEO was asked to find employment else where when it was discovered that he was using the corporate jet to play in the mile-high club with his secretary (his exit bonus was 100x my annual salary). The only thing that surprises me is that he was asked to leave. Of course he was still on the board of directors for nearby companies and got another job as CEO elsewhere.

Rita already has her bathrobe on. So are the masseurs somewhere inside MMM or will she go out, drive and arrive on site dressed like this? Not that it would surprise me if she did it.

those things are nice, however, I get that the gang is wondering what the heck is going on
