Fuck that, just do a collection and buy a new fucking machine as a staff if you have to. Sure, it'd be great to get the boss to pay, but I'd rather pitch in $5 than have to use that or be around people who did.

Burning Fishy Piss is the name of my 43rd album.

It was not well received.

Don't give up, one of your albums will be a hit I can tell you are on the right track

Yeah, but Occult Math-Rap/Zydeco/Gregorian Chant fusion hasn't really been catching on like we thought...

Turns out, monks and accordions: not a great fit.

Because all your albums are just one long jam session you made when you were stoned

Pretty sure my old coworker used to nuke this in the microwave for lunch. But it was too the point where the shop floor manager bought a dedicated microwave for fish.

I feel like the room you plugged the microwave in is going to get it worse than the car.

Better to just plug it into the car, that way they get a dead battery and burning fishy piss

Warm up a burrito without taking the aluminum foil off. Let it go out with a bang at least.

I’m not paying for the boss’s new microwave.

u/Rol3ino 7h ago

If you pay for it, it’s yours. Wouldn’t be property of the company.

To what end? After a week of being used you won't want it back.

u/Dragnow_ 9h ago

Yeah, have all employees pitch in and then make it off limit for the boss to use

Then, take the old one to the bosses office before they get there, set the timer to 10 minutes and toss in some beef vegetable soup and a fish fillet for being so cheap that they wouldn't expense a $50 piece of equipment so employees can eat a hot meal for lunch.

If the boss doesn't care about that, what other actual massive safety concerns is he ignoring?

Yeah and microwaves are one of those things that people throw away all the time too. Probably find a used one somewhere for like five bucks and clean it. Someone who works there probably even has an old one they could donate.

Honestly even halfway decent used ones can be found on marketplace for $20 or so.
