Ebeneezer Screw - Getting the Ebeneezer Screw is when your job says, 'See you

Getting the Ebeneezer Screw is when your job says, 'See you next year,' and means it, right when you were about to get a raise.

I was told I was getting the Ebeneezer Screw right after I asked for a raise.

They gave me the Ebeneezer Screw and said, 'We’ll call you when we need you again.'

I got the Ebeneezer Screw and had to walk out of the office with my coat on.
