They can keep it

Expression used to denote ones depressive, apathetic attitude toward their work. Usually, it expresses your inability to change anything and your inevitable departure from said job.
Example 1:

Guy 1: "Did you get the memo? I guess they're taking money back because they overpaid us $600 for per diem on that business trip last week."

Guy 2: "They can keep it. In fact, they should take more of my money. Who needs college tuition? Not my kids."

Example 2:

Guy 1: "You hear, man, we have to stay late again because the boss can't get her shit strait."

Guy 2: "She can keep it. In fact, she should take more of my nights. I don't mind missing my sons' birthday."

Guy 1: "It's hers. She can have it."

don't count your chickens before they hatch

You should not assume that what you think will happen, will eventually happen. It's mostly used in cases where you would brag, plan, or make other deals before the event actually occurred. Originates from selling chickens based on how many eggs there is before you know how many eggs are viable. A few chickens may die, some may not hatch, and others eggs may break. Example: quitting your job or buying expensive items when your $1,000,000 sports bet looks likely but there's still two minutes more left in the game.
Hey Bob, you have to keep on playing hard. Even though we are up five goals with 5 minutes left, they can still come back. Don't count your chickens before they hatch.
