My company widely promoted our first "Employee Appreciation Luncheon" to publicly recognize outstanding employees at the lower levels. No managers came.

My hospital is being sued in a multi-million dollar malpractice case. The chief hospital administrator called a meeting of the medical staff to explain the case. He said, "Please, be more careful in the future. Save risky procedures for the poor."

I interviewed with a company and then heard nothing for over a month. I was surprised when the interviewer called. He said, "I hope you're still interested in the position. My first two choices got better offers."

A group of employees were clustered in the kitchen eating cake. My Boss badgered every newcomer to the kitchen, saying, "Try this cake. It's better than sex." After the third or fourth time this happened, one of the senior employees said, "Would that be sex with you?"

I asked my Boss if my starting salary could be above the minimum for the level. He said, "No. You passed the interview, but not by much."

My Boss was angered by a recent performance evaluation that suggested he continue his education. He sent a copy of the evaluation to me with a post-it note attached. It read: "Is this dum, or what?"

Comment from my Boss during my performance evaluation: "Once in my career I didn't get along with my Boss either. BUT when he told me how it was affecting my performance, I immediately did a 360 degree turnaround. I expect the same from you."

Everyday, my Boss and I run the same 1-mile, oval track at lunch. Recently, he switched his routine and started running in the other direction. When I questioned him, he said, "It's fewer hills if you run the other way."
