Maybe in the top half he could have an eyebrow grooming parlour and in the bottom have other people do his work, for free eyebrow trims.

Hey, at least he still *has* a job(s?). They could have outsourced it…

I love how Biff’s eyebrows droop down at the sight of the double-decker cubicle…at least his left eyebrow is..I think…

Wow, this makes me appreciate my job more. I’m just a regular employee, and we get regular raises without increased responsibilities. …granted, those raises are small, and we’re only part time, and we can’t work after we graduate (gotta be students), but still!

OMG! I’m a department manager and that is exactly what my cubicle looks like.

The real ‘raise’ is in your blood pressure, as they raise their expectations, and your workload…

Now y’all know why I’m content to be a trench-dweller.

The way it worked with me is that I was made ACTING supervisor, handed the additional tasks and responsibilities, then the ACTING position (and pay) was rescinded.

I got to keep the added responsibilities, of course.

Hey, he got a double-decker cubicle out of it. Looks like he’ll be strangling that computer more often for stress relief.

Yep, was Asst. Manager for a restaurant (big national chain) where the Managers job consisted solely of coming in once a week and making out the work schedule. Everything else (the entire manager’s job) was let to me. At half of the Manager’s salary, 80 hours week, no overtime pay…. Yeah, I left that job, and they actually wondered why.

So he only has to do the work of two people? Nice. We downsized from 300 people to 60. I can’t even see the top of my cubicle. Strange that’s it’s that tall and somehow I’m still hitting the glass ceiling.

However, my first thought was “How nice, one for him, one for the eyebrows”
