• “If she’s late one more time, that’s it. She’s going”
• “Maternity? What do I do now if she can take a

whole year off?”

• “Parental Leave, is that the same as Paternity

Leave?”

• “Its getting tough out there, I don’t want to loose

anyone but there’s no money in the pot”

• “I’ve told them a thousand times what I want them

to be doing, they just don’t do it”

• “That’s it, I’ve had enough of him. He’s just got to

go”
