During one annual review I had the boss said to me, "Times are hard for the company, even though you have performed ok there is no money for pay rises and you will be lucky to get 2/5ths of sweet FA".
I told him "I'm not very happy with that and was expecting 3/4 of sweet FA!"
The look on his face priceless
