The Pay Raise
Published Jan 01, 1900
A worker asked for a pay raise and got this note back from his supervisor: "Because of the fluctuational predisposition of your position's productive capacity as juxtaposed to standard norms, it would be momentarily injudicious to advocate your requested increment."
The puzzled worker went to the supervisor and said, "If this is about my pay raise, I don't get it."
"That's right," said the supervisor.
