    Don't Trust the Pie!

    This is kind of funny;

    I should have learned by now that when the boss brings in treats that his wife makes, we're going to get asked with a smile later on "Hey, how you doing? Good? How do you feel about getting some overtime?"

    The first time it was cookies. Asked to switch 2-days and work at our other site.

    This time it was pie. Damn good pie. 1/2 hour after eating a slice, I get asked to work overtime that day, and the day after, and switch shifts with a coworker!

    I just have to start saying NO TO THE PIE!!!

    His bringing the treats means he's gonna ask/insist anyway. You might as well enjoy it ^_^

          Well, if you know you're going to give in anyway, you look your boss straight in the eye and ask for a 2nd piece of pie.

            I wonder if this works in reverse...

            I mean, if LillFilly wanted a day off, maybe she (I presume??) could bring some desserts for her boss the day before, and say something like "These are because I'm taking off tomorrow."

            I mean hey, if bribery is the game...
