You love your job.
But what if you don't. Maybe you are desperately looking for a new one.
Would you take anything?
Probably wouldn't like this job either...

So, today I was perusing the Internet (I wasn't avoiding work, it was for research, I swear!), and I stumbled upon a the Workplace Prof Blog, which had an interesting entry about euphemisms companies use to let people know they've been laid off. They decided the winning euphemism was ...
