Vincent: You know what the funniest thing about working for a corporation is?
Jules: What?
Vincent: It’s the little differences. A lotta the same S@#% we got with our Tiny Business, they got there, but there they’re a little different.
Jules: Examples?
Vincent: Well, at Big Bucket, Inc., they actually have a supply closet. And I’m not talking about no little drawer full of staples and Scotch tape, I’m talking about a real supply closet.
Do you know what they call a – a – a day off at Big Bucket, Inc?
Jules: They don’t call it a day off?
Vincent: No man, they got a Human Resources department there. How would they know whether you were doing enough work or not?
Jules: Then what do they call it?
Vincent: They call it PTO. Paid Time Off.
Jules: PTO!
Vincent: That’s right.
Jules: What do they call it when you take off for a funeral or something?
Vincent: A funeral is a funeral, but they call it ‘Bereavement Leave’
Jules: ‘Bereavement Leave!’ Ha, ha, ha. What do they call it when you just want to spend some time with your kids?
Vincent: I dunno, I didn’t spend much time with my kids.
And here is that classic scene… excuse their French…

Clever post, Russ! It’s amazing how corporations can come ups with acronyms and euphemisms to say something other than what they really mean. I don’t know if they are trying to be too politically-correct or not. BTW – Did you see the recent Travolta movie “From Paris with Love”? He is a CIA assassin whose weakness is a “Royale with Cheese”!
@Ed Mayuga — I love Travolta! I will have to check that one out. Thanks for the compliments on this post!
