You Work with an ***?

[Linda Buquet]

Most affiliates are their own boss because they hate working for others! Since I haven't done a Friday Funny for awhile I thought I would revive a cartoon I did a year ago - an oldie & goodie.



I added the "work" word for those that are single or happily married, therefore don't live with one - but can relate to "working" with one.

This cartoon has nothing to do with Internet marketing but has everything to do with life! Hey, but my life IS Internet marketing so it still fits. ;-)

Have a great weekend and YUK IT UP!

Oh BTW... have you ever worked with an ***?
Tell us your best "***" horror story.

Indeed!
In fact I feel like an *** today!
I bought this product which didnt work and it requires a programmer to rectify the problem.
But the seller says that it is the reseller to provide tech support whereas I have yet to get a solution from the reseller.
Who is right, who is wrong?
I fear that I am the *** because the guarantee is about to be gone.

Hi ethan,

Welcome to 5 Star. Sorry you feel like such an ***.

Seriously though, do hope you get your problem worked out.

[ethan]

Thanks Linda! I certainly hope so too!

I think this might be similar to working with an *** teacher on a project. They just never stop whining and they want everything to go 10,000% perfect!

I used to work with an ***
He used to sit in his office and listen to all his employees phone conversatoins. To add salt to the wound I was only getting paid $12 an hour!
This was a few years before I discovered affiliate marketing and thus freedom!

Oh man, the very last J.O.B I had before I launched my internet marketing career was at a restruant that was supposed to be fancy (I am a retired bartender, but don't let the "retired" part fool you... I'm only 32) but the owner was this mean lady who would drink a whole bunch of wine and then terrorize her employees.

Good times, good times.

I have so many horror stories about J.O.B.s and ex bosses I can't even hardly stand to think about it. No way can I ever work for anyone again.

OK twist my arm I'll tell you a couple good ones about a boss from 15 years ago when I worked at a publicly traded high-end computer store chain.

One night I left out the back door. Forgot something so came back in 2 minutes later. My boss pulled a GUN on me! Guns were not allowed according to corporate policy (and common sense.)

Then one day I went into the stock room and he was karate chopping boxes saying "die sucka!" I kid you not! That's when I found out he was a VET and suspected PTSD.

Next he got mad one day and BIT the monitor on our cash register.
I'm talking BIG bite marks.

Last but not least, he went to visit a client and even though managers wearing guns was a big company no-no - he was packing! The client saw the gun in the shoulder holster inside his suit. Turned out to be an old college buddy of the vice president and called him to say "since when do your managers carry guns?"

He was fired. I was promoted to sales manager. Crazy!
