    I’ve looked everywhere online and I can’t find a MAGA hat with pre-cut horn holes.

  43. Rubén says:

    “Don’t take this the wrong way, but compared to my last one, this is a hell of a job.”

  44. Tyler Ross says:

YOU DO NOT HEAR ME COMPLAINING ABOUT YOUR NASTY TUNA SANDWICHES, DO YOU?! ..but yes, your portfolio is doing so great!

  58. Tim Magnuson says:

    The steps to get IT support are getting ridiculous.

  59. Tyler Ross says:

  60. Luis says:

    “Please, let me in! It’s better down there!”

  78. Amb says:

    Yay, I’m no longer isolated

  79. Amb says:

    Interesting that you appeared when I said Covfefe three times.

  80. Amb says:

    I’d like to ask you about homeopathic remedies. I’ve heard you are an expert.

  81. Amb says:

    I’ve always wanted to ask, wouldn’t a Hex-agon make more sense for summoning?

  86. Raf says:

    “You’re probably the only one to get a raise this year…”

  87. Amb says:

    You are the second one I’ve had to summon. The first got sucked into my Roomba by mistake.

  104. Spud says:

    As you can see, my experience here is highly relevant, and I would be excited to take the next step in my career by joining your organisation! I could start any time.

  105. Spud says:

    I’m sorry, this place already sucked out my soul. Would you accept a slightly used gall bladder?

  106. Spud says:

    I don’t know, I quite like the hot lunches since our merger.

  107. Darlene says:

    I’ve got to be more careful rolling around the office…

  108. Brian Mulawka says:

    Oh hello 2020.

    This first week has been great! It turns out my last job actually was worse than hell.

    Oh. You must be the new guy from HR…Damon, right? Just try to keep a low profile and everything will go ‘smoothly’.

  111. Carlos Juarez says:

    “Sorry to call you for something like this, but at this point I’m really desperate to finish this spreadsheet, and no one on IT is answering”.

    You’re a little early; I was just finishing off the presentation for the merger.

    Or

    -Still not smoking huh?

  121. AlfredT says:

    Sorry Clippy, I didn’t mean “burn in hell _eternally_”.

    OR

    I want your dark spreadsheet magic to fix my climate prediction formula. (Whatever data I feed it, the temperate just keeps rising at the end.)

    • David says:

      I like where Alfred’s ideas are leading. Perhaps, “Want to hear something *really* scary? Climate change models predict Hell freezing over.”

  122. Matt says:

    “Well, you’re not who I was expecting, but this is 2020”

  123. Matt says:

    No, no, no. I don’t want anything in return. I just want you to take my soul now.

  126. Ric says:

    Oh, sorry. I was trying to contact Cthulhu.

  127. Ric says:

    Why are you being let go? Because we no longer need your help to end the world.

  128. Ric says:

    Aren’t you a little late for the End of the World?

  129. Ric says:

    Well, I’m very busy 25 years from now. How does this Tuesday for collection sound?

  130. Ric says:

    Wait, they sent you here as punishment?

  131. Alex says:

    I ‘m done trying to flatten the curve. Let’s face it, people are idiots. Maybe you can start that “Apocalypse” event ahead of schedule and speed things up…?

  132. Burkhard says:

    So, you’re from Microsoft Support? And you got signals from my computer that it has a virus?

  133. Barry says:

    New boss, same as the old boss.

  134. Cleo says:

    So does this office have any other temperature settings besides “eternal hell fires”?

    I knew I should’ve read the Terms & Conditions.

  136. Composer99 says:

    Can you tell me how to get a job in marketing?

  137. MrNick says:

    “So that’s what that spreadsheet formula does!”

  138. Todd Douglas says:

    What do you mean my PowerPoint isn’t ready yet?

  139. Ric says:

    Mate, if you think this is going to scare me you clearly haven’t been keeping up with the news.

  140. Tine says:

    Can you get Nick for me? Said he’d be damned if he fixes my laptop once more!

  141. Jonas Wellingham says:

    “Do you have something more work-appropriate to enshroud your being with? That flaming aura of doom goes against our company dress code”

  142. I don’t care what it costs! I want to work from home….

  143. Gary Phillips says:

    Alexa close Zuul, open Zoom.

  144. David says:

    Drag me to Hell. It’ll be better there.

  145. Katie Curry says:

    You’ve got the wrong cubicle. Brenda is 3 cubes down.

  146. Katie Curry says:

    Sorry, but you’re not even in the top 10 of surprising things to happen in 2020.

  147. Tyler Ross says:

    I’m really sorry, but your employment at Savage Snow Cones is just not working out.

  148. Tyler Ross says:

    We’ve gotten way too many complaints from Uber Eats customers that they’re receiving barbequed food when they didn’t order it.

  149. Cleo says:

    Sorry dude, last time I saw Ted’s retirement card was on Cerberus’ desk.

  150. Steve Stetler says:

    HR said you’re not evil enough, we’re going to have to let you go

  151. Steve Stetler says:

    What do you mean my soul isn’t compatible with Windows 10?

  152. Crow says:

    Sorry Dude. You must have gotten off on the wrong floor. Hell is a few floors up from here…

  153. Sam Bartlow says:

    This is why I warned you about going to Arizona

  154. Sam Bartlow says:

    I told you your home is colder than Arizona

  155. Mary Downs says:

    I thought I got the Insta app not the penta. Dang it!

  156. Roland says:

    – I’m not too sure about these latest Siri upgrades
    – Nice costume, Dave, but as the office safety officer I have to report this
    – No these aren’t common covid symptoms, but you still might want to contact your doctor

  157. Mike says:

    My boss thinks you are a flamer.

  158. Mary Downs says:

    My password was so complicated it summoned the devil.
