Blofeld
     
      At the Nokia HQ in Keilaniemi...
      - Impoverished workers!
      This year, no bonuses will be distributed!
      I bet that pisses you off. We're RAKING it in...
      The money will be transferred to the executive board's account.
      - Did you hear that, guys? We're not getting any bonuses!
      - It can't be so! Well, at least I've got my CV updated.
     
     
Driven mad
     
      - Whoo-hoo! Company car, and bonuses on the way! Life's a gas!
      - What the hell? Is that OPK? Has the old pauper taken to riding a moped? :-D
      - Shalom, coolies. OPK here.
      Haven't you coolies heard that leasing cars have to be returned to ALD?
      And your Connectings are toast, too.
      - But, what the f*ck? The company's making more dough than the Vatican.
      - Right on, but that money's not going to end up in coolies' pockets.
      So.. Get those wheels back to ALD, and get coding!
     
     
Slaving in Florida
     
      - Mr Director Man, I've been working like a slave, but now I'm not getting any bonus.
      - Thank you for your efforts, but you forget the hard toil of the executive board...
      Last year, we had to make THREE trips to Florida for seminars! Think of that!
      - But just a couple of grand would do me fine!
      - I'll say this for the last time. You get ZILCH! Now get out of my sight!
      - And what do we learn from this story?
      You work your butt off doing overtime, but in the end you wind up getting shafted!
