Work Phone
I was having a conversation with my friend, Imelda… and this little toon came out of her frustration with having a vacation BUT NOT!

This toon reminds me of work, they hate me, but cannot function without me.
Oh, to only be a lawyer. Any answered call represents billable hours (with maybe something like a half-hour minimum consultation fee per call charged at a going rate of numerous hundreds of dollars per hour). Ha, those three calls could have netted Mouse from maybe $450 to $750. Alas, he’s on retainer, and Carol has free access. Well, if he answers the phone.
Squid… Sorry about the hate. Nice to hear you’re indispensable and can call some shots.
My company has a policy that if you are salaried, a vacation simply means you don’t have to be present at work. You are expected to check your email and resolve anything important.
Squid… indespensibility has its rewards and its drawbacks.
stick… that’s just it… Mouse really runs the joint. He should draw the line somewhere though.
berry (hi ho!) …s’not right! I dunno… companies need to think about this thing called burnout… totally unproductive consequence of “working” vacations! Burnout leads to turn-over which costs money.
Good time for Mouse to ask for a raise and a new Manager position with a raise!
