It's time for a new job when...

[Dirt]

You get mad at your manager when you make a mistake except the other way around.

[Demon G Sides]

Yeah, probably. I got mad at one of the night workers at my old job, and got fired because of it.

So, tread lightly.

[Kunikos]

Is this the ESL thread?

[TheRock]

....your co-workers admit they are racist and use the 'N' word even when you tell them it's not appropriate and that it's not something you want to hear....ALSO, the owner is a racist and a homophobe who would not mind if all the 'N's' and the 'fags' died.

[Kunikos]

... the owner of the company assures everyone will be offered jobs after the company buyout, which falls through. Then a second potential buyer is mentioned. That falls through, then a third potential buyer. A co-worker mentions that the first two dropped because they figured out that the company owner was busy cooking the books due to employing his wife (who does nothing) in lieu of settling something else in divorce court.

[Dirt]

My Egyptian co-worker calls me a racist too.

All in good fun.

[Kunikos]

TOTALLY. Lynchings are a comedy gold-mine.

[Patrick]

..... You get the boss's wife pregnant.

[Lurb]

When you finally manage to fall through the corporate cracks and everybody thinks you work for someone else and it's hell on earth instead of the eternal bliss you wanted.

[TheRock]

....you get hired for a computer internet hardware startup which is relying on VC for funding....after the boom has run its course and the bust is upon us...and each month, a day before payroll, you, the accountant, have to give the owner a budget for the next month not knowing, which goes on for 1.5 years, if he will approve it the next day and pay your salary.

[Shadarr]

...you stop sleeping with your boss.

[Rimbo]

..... You get the boss's wife pregnant.

...you get the boss pregnant.

[Wholly Schmidt]

...you stop sleeping with your boss. ...you get the boss pregnant. ...the bosses wife gets you pregnant.

[Rimbo]

...the bosses wife gets you pregnant.

goddammit, you owe me a keyboard

[Wholly Schmidt]

...the bosses keyboard wifes your..ok, I'll stop.

[Brendan]

Your entire company gets called out to the parking lot and they lock the doors behind you.

[Brad Grenz]

When they discover your interest eating virus.

[Nellie]

Japan invades your company

[Aleck]

The boss has everyone load all the office equipment into a truck in the parking lot for a "move."

(for all the fans of the Bluth Company)

[quatoria]

My Egyptian co-worker calls me a racist too.

All in good fun.

Holy shit, Dirt, people you work with call you a racist? I'd quit immediatly, if I were you. Those people are clearly crazy.

[Marcus]

When your MMO Tanks.

[hong]

When your MOM tanks.

No, wait, that's not right.

[marxeil]

When your boss calls you two months after you left your former safe, easy going job, and tells you that due to financial difficulties, the company is laying off 10% of the workforce, and you are 10% of those who are being fired.

[nutsak]

.. you have anxeity and trouble sleeping because your boss tells you that he's going to write you up for "not doing better" despite records showing you're doing 150% of what you're employed to do however don't sweat it because the write up is just a motivational device and you need it to happen three times before you get fired.

[CounterMeasure]

When you attend the company meeting, and the owner of the company shows up with a glass and an unopened bottle of Bicardi rum he picked up on the way to the office. Company meeting ends about 3/4ths of the bottle later when the boss goes running for the bathroom because he just puked in his mouth, and is holding it in with his hand. He crashes into a wall on the way there, causing the puke to erupt from his mouth.

Two months later, company closes, and he becomes a upper-level manager at a Compaq office in Houston.

[Major Icehole]

Today, today it is time for a new job. That is all.*
