The image is formatted in a tweet with image format. The caption says "handle with care" over two pictures. The first picture is of an Amazon package with "fragile" written in sharpie. The second picture is on the inside the box with a paper and the text "a middle manager's ego" on it.

Back when I was working retail, my boss had a thing about clip boards, thinking they looked important or something, I was doing a stock check of the section I was I charge of using shockingly a clip board. He came out started complaining he NEEDED the clip board right there and then, took it off me and proceeded to walk around the rest of the day with said clip board with some plain paper clipped to it. It was really strange I have no idea how he was even our manager, he couldn't even cash up let alone do any of the daily paper work our assistant manager did it all.

It always baffles me that no company has enough clipboards, despite them costing about a dollar each.

And unlike pens they are really hard to take/steal.

I used to clip a crossword puzzle to one and work on it throughout the day. As long as it's on a clipboard, people think you're working!
