Not that we are trying to steal a page from Valleywag or anything, but someone sent this to me: 

The President of a company apparently ran into a former employee who had left a few weeks earlier.  

Naturally, the small talk went as follows:

Boss: How’s everything?
Former employee: Great, I am working at so-so and things are going really well… I love it.

The next day, the boss is at the usual, nausea-inducing morning meetings at his company… when he decides to tell everyone that he has run into a former employee who “hates their new job, misses her former employer etc. etc.” as a reminder of how lucky they are to be working at such a hip, cool company.

Everyone is tempted to believe this, because clearly only a lowlife of pathetic proportions would make this up, right?

Only problem was that a fellow colleague in the room just happens to remain friends with the former “supposed miserable” employee, and actually calls the boss on his lie.

Result: instead of “motivating his troops” in the only backwards way that he can, he only ridicules himself further and shows once again just how pathetic and deceitful he really is (which incidentally, the other employees get to learn of more ways throughout the ensuing year…)

Anyone care to guess who this retardo is?

I guess it could be anyone, since it reminds me of someone I used to work for until I wisened up and dropped him like the bag of poo he was.
