The Doctors Appointment Raise

Friend of mine wasn’t getting his raise request. I told him to show up next day w haircut, best suit, carry one of those resume folders, and to leave late morning for an hour to sit in a coffee shop, then come back quietly like nothing happened. The next week he got his raise. When your analyst leaves the office for 2 hours on a Tuesday for a “doctors appointment”

A social media post describes an employee using a carefully staged “doctors appointment” absence to appear as though he is interviewing elsewhere, successfully prompting a raise. The reaction image shows a bald man sitting tensely at a bar, capturing the analyst’s suspiciously serious and intimidating return after disappearing for two hours. It is used as a sarcastic reaction to workplace manipulation, strategic absence, or an employee making their boss nervous.
