Thanks to you forgoing bathroom breaks, I will get $10 million in bonuses this year. I can&#8217;t thank you enough. You are vitally important to our company, even though you could be replaced in an instant by someone making less money.<\/p>\n<p>Next month we will be cutting your medical benefits again, but you will be glad to know we&#8217;re paying Dr Phil $100,000 to inspire you to accept your fate.
