  • “Look, if she's not industrious enough to get a job at her dad's firm like I did, then she doesn't deserve a penny."”

    Katharine Carlson –
    Creative Consultant

  • “She should have gone to an 'employment-guaranteed' college, like I did."”

    Nate Holmes –
    Systems Analyst

  • “I authorized my secretary to get on the phone and offer this Trina Thompson a position in the sales department. This is precisely the type of litigious mediocrity I want on my team!"”

    Arthur Sellers –
