You’ve been here for 7 years, and this is what you think passes for an OP? You’re not paying attention, and based on this evidence, and until I’m presented with more, I have no choice but to conclude that your boss is probably a cool dude for keeping you employed. ---

Yeah, we need more. Especially if you’re expecting us to row you out from Guam to the deepest part, and do a “heave ho” with that garbage bag… ---

You don’t get to send him to the trench and everybody here will take his side unless you tell us a bit more about his asshatery. ---

He’s a boss, and the preponderance of the evidence exists on that basis alone that he’s an asshat! This unbiased and objective juror says dunk the chump! ---
