Re-captioned New Yorker Cartoon #11

"We'd like to hire you, work you half to death, stress you out, deny you your benefits when you need them, pass you over for promotions, pay you a lower salary than you deserve, and then lay you off when you need this job the most. Is all that okay with you?"

(This cartoon originally appeared in the 1-2-1984 issue of the New Yorker.)

OK, I was discouraged, nay, depressed about my job search when I turned to your blog today. Now I am without hope. Actually, this is very funny. Well done.

Sure as hell looks like his boss.
