The Born Loser by Art and Chip Sansom for October 07, 2024

He has a point there, chief.

All those years of loyal service mean to Veblefester is that you aren’t smart enough to get a different job.

Unpaid overtime, no doubt.

twenty-five years but feels like thirty…!

Seems to have taken Brutus a long time to discover that!

Don’t forget all those times you did the work of several people

23, 25, it doesn’t matter! Give him the dadgum promotion!

time must be going slower for him when he sticks around that late at night. :J

….but who’s counting?

Sometimes promotions are more work with the same pay…..☹️

Sounds like a failure of leadership. Lift up your employees.

Brutus – Veblefester is just a con man. You need to con him. Take a month’s sick leave. If he calls wanting you to return soon, you are needed. No call no need.

Attaboy Brutus……never give up!

The only person that looks out for you is you. That’s what I learned in my career.

If dog years are 7 human years how many would Rancid years be – at least 10? So he’s been there over 200 Brutus years!

Yeah boss, where you gonna find a loyal whipping boy like Brutus.

Promotions should not be based on time served in a job. Brutus should be showing leadership skills. Am I being too logical here? I think Brutus should be getting something just for staying in that job with bossman, but I am unfortunately not in charge. I suspect Brutus actually likes his job.

All my overtime for one month (we did 18 hour days, 7 days a week, for 31 days) over many years is too much to calculate. Needless to say, I retired after 38 years in that career. Maybe it was more like 45 after all the OT?

So ST + OT = PT.

He’s got a point!

I was still enjoying my job when I was twenty five in, almost had 35 but I woke up one day and told myself I was done with it.

It’s not about the time spent, but the results delivered. Anyone can punch a clock.

Odd, the bag of money on the Boss’s desk is smaller the bags on the floor.

Overtime counts!!!
