Your Daily Job: The Real Halloween

Every day at work is like trick-or-treating. When kids are trick-or-treating, they demand something they want, candy, or they'll inflict punishment, throwing toilet paper all over a house. Working at a job follows similar guidelines to trick-or-treating. If you don't give your boss what he or she wants, good work, then they'll inflict punishment on you. In other words, you're fired! It's like a very lame yet higher stakes version of Halloween every day then. I guess it's better than having to carry a bucket of candy with you all day at work, but that doesn't mean you still can't throw toilet paper over their house!
