SOLEDAD O'BRIEN, CNN ANCHOR: Well here's a message for you, do not post nasty messages about your boss on your Web site. It might just get you fired.
Andy Serwer is "Minding Your Business" this morning.

That's what happened to a guy at Home Depot, right?

ANDY SERWER, "FORTUNE" MAGAZINE: Yes, apparently that's what happened to a guy at Home Depot. We're going to get into that in a minute. It's a really interesting story about criticizing bosses.

But first, what about welcoming Soledad to AMERICAN MORNING.

BILL HEMMER, CNN ANCHOR: How about it. Here's the headline.

O'BRIEN: Pasties for breakfast.

SERWER: This is -- it is -- no, not anything quite that good.

O'BRIEN: I'm getting hungry.

SERWER: But we have -- this is a survival kit. An AMERICAN MORNING Soledad survival kit. First off, of course, the alarm clock. Now I know you've done a little morning television before.

O'BRIEN: Yes.

SERWER: Yes, but anyway, this really will do you.

O'BRIEN: Wow.

SERWER: What do you think, that will get you.

O'BRIEN: How do you turn it off?

SERWER: Yes, how do you get that? OK, that's good.

O'BRIEN: Thank you.

HEMMER: That's battery operated, right?

SERWER: You've got to start with a clock. Then of course for the husband, the earplugs. You need some earplugs for your husband.

What else do we have here?

O'BRIEN: Brad, these are for you, honey.

SERWER: Then when we get up in the morning, you have to have your Starbucks cards, so that is for you.

HEMMER: Yes, there you do.

O'BRIEN: Is that open that early in the morning?

SERWER: Yes.

O'BRIEN: Twenty-five dollars.

SERWER: Believe all of us here, yes, it's...

O'BRIEN: You are a generous man. Thank you.

SERWER: You know it's really amazing what they'll spring for...

HEMMER: You know and at Starbucks these days that will get you two coffees.

SERWER: What else do we got?
