1. "Why did you screenshot all those DMs you got from Lucia's ex? You trying to start beef?"
2. "Nah, I actually slid into his DMs ages ago after she dipped from the club without paying. The DMs and screenshots are part of the raise cattle phase."

Lay Raise

Lay Raise: The result of being fired from a position only you or very few people can fill, only to be hired back at a higher pay rate when the company whom fired you comes crawling back for your help.

So they fired me on Friday, and hired me back on Tuesday, but for more money, because I didn't want to go back for the same. Best three day weekend and lay raise ever!
