Okay, look, the Italian-Asian fusion didn't quite catch on in the area as much as we anticipated. But don't worry! We're just going to scale back the menu a bit to eliminate costs and focus our target demographic. From now on, we are a pizza by the slice place.

What do you mean, there's six other cheaper pizza by the slice places nearby? Our more upscale entries will make us stand out from the rest. Look, this one has pear and gorganzola cheese on it.

Also, everyone is going to have to take a pay cut. Don't worry, we'll get through this.

Janet, there's three boxes in the walk-in freezer that are just labeled "INGREDIENTS." Get those out of here. What do you mean, where? Just put them in your loving car and drive and don't stop driving until I call you...

We really appreciate your help getting these documents through the local planning department. We have deep ties to the local community and are really excited to provide our amazing products to all the locals.

Unfortunately, we have decided to hire an out-of-town design firm for the remainder of this project. They have balked at the local building codes and beautification requirements. They have assured us that they will cut every corner possible to bring this store to fruition. They will also be bringing in their preferred contractors from across the state to slap it thing together!

Remember to buy local, from us, as soon as we open!

Hey guys! So this is my son, he's gonna be your new manager. He's going to make more money than you, has no experience in the store, and I'll never actually discipline him for anything.

I think I'll use that money to open a bar.

That sounds like a fun way to spend the rest of my days.

I have a complicated relationship with Walmart wherein I know they are bad for my business but foam at the mouth against anyone who criticizes capitalism in the slightest. At the same time I get a warm fuzzy feeling when people talk about how great the mom and pop businesses that walmart pressures are, but every single employee who ever worked at a Walmart had better pay and a better chance at career advancement than anyone who ever worked at my business.

Listen guys, you may have heard some rumors about Kelly and I having some... marital issues. I just want to say that I would appreciate some privacy during this time. We're going through some stuff, most of it is her fault, and I'm not sure where things are going to end up.

Also just to clarify, this has NOTHING to do with the fact that I recently fired Rebecca. That is completely unrelated. And if she tells you anything different, then she's just lying to try and screw us all over. Okay? Yes, I took her to Dairy Queen but it was not a "date", and we didn't have sex in the back of the store. She's in college for god's sake, what would a 50 year old man want to do with a college girl?

Finally, you might have noticed the cameras that were installed last night. These go directly to my house, that way Kelly can, uh, supervise things from home. Again, not related to the marital issues or to Rebecca at all.

look i know we used to give bonuses at christmas and this year saw record growth (thanks again team!), but get this. this year we're trying a new thing for xmas, a little holiday shindig in the cubes! we're gettin jimmy johns for everybody! to a limit of fifteen dollars worth each! and "after eight" thin mints till you puke!

due to our order volumes in the coming months the warehouse team won't be included in the christmas jimmy johns party and instead they will be shown the case of thin mints on its way to the office and allowed to sniff it. their christmas bonus is I will unlock the toilet on the warehouse floor and give them the benefit of the doubt this time about water and time wastage.

just a side note while I've got you here, when you use the complimentary coffee machine, write your name and the month on the cup and use that cup for the entire month. we're doing our part to be green and will tolerate no overuse. the coffee machine is a privilege, not a right.

finally, and this is a real big one guys, we're getting a pool table for the whole office! alright! it'll be in my office where the movie projector i got for you all is.

Okay guys, time to discuss the dress code policy. I KNOW! Nobody likes it, but we have to look professional.

Guys, you must wear a black t shirt and jeans with black shoes. I'll give you flexibility in the shoes but the t-shirt has to be solid black. We cannot be advertising bands or whatever, just go buy some cheap black t shirts.

Ladies, you must wear this low cut t shirt, skirt, pantyhose, and heels. I know a lot of you hate the pantyhose and heels, but it's my fetish. Er, I mean it's my policy. Yeah, that's the ticket.

Come in, close the door. Yeah this talk is about your work ethic. You called in sick twice this month and that has me questioning your commitment to this team. If you want to stay a part of this family then you need to decide what kind of person you are. Are you the kind of person who will let a sniffle stand in the way of doing what we need you to do? Let that be the last time. I expect better from you.

Anyway we'll have another chat after I get back from my three month vacation.

I have a small software company in a midwest college town, my applicant pool is CS graduates who haven't bailed for the west coast yet because they're waiting on a partner or hosed up their grades and no real company will talk to them.

Despite how limited this applicant pool is I'm only going to pay them $32k/year with no benefits because my small business can't afford it, and make them do two rounds of interviews before they even get that offer because I have high standards.

They all leave as soon as their partner graduates or they get two years of experience and bail for a job paying 3-4x as much, this means millennials have no concept of loyalty or professionalism.

I'm going to focus on this new product so much that I completely forget it needs a sales strategy. Whoops! Time to hire a software sales rep, pay him a whopping 34k, and have him and the product manager design an entire sales strategy from scratch. Your advertising budget is $50 a month, better spend it wisely!

....

No one wants to buy our software, clearly this is the fault of development. All decisions now need to be approved by me, but I'm not going to make those until I have time to research my options, which I will get around to doing eventually, I promise.

No raises this year, company expenses (renovating my house) are too high. Maybe if the sales team were better at their jobs you'd all be making more money. By the way, I'm taking my annual three week cross-country RV vacation next month.

Oh no the sales team all quit, the ungrateful shits! I know how to resolve this crisis, time to fire the product manager. Clearly it's his fault for letting things degrade to this!

Hey I have a bunch of whiteboards on the wall, and I like to put really sensitive financial data up there so I can look at it, right?

My idea is that we can put blinds over the whiteboard and then when customers/vendors come in, I can just close the blinds and then they can't see it.

Top priority - I need it done now. Customer is coming by in 15 minutes.
