👔 Classic Dad Joke
My boss asked me to put a joke on the company website...
So I put up my salary!
Why This Joke Works
The joke reframes a low salary as comedy content — the pay is so laughably bad it qualifies as the website's joke. 'Joke' does double duty as a content request and an insult to the compensation package. The employee technically completed the assignment while roasting the company simultaneously.
🎤 How to Tell This Joke
Say 'so I put up my salary' with complete pride, as if you nailed the brief and went above and beyond the assignment.
Perfect for:
- •During a salary negotiation that isn't going your way
- •At a company all-hands when compensation comes up
- •At a happy hour venting session about pay transparency
