In the episode where we learned Kramer's first name (it was re-run in the NYC area this past week), Elaine expressed glee when she realized she wouldn't have to work for Mr. Pitt anymore if she got the Doubleday job.

But why doesn't she like working for Mr. Pitt?

It probably has to do with the idiotic tasks he has her do. Let's make a list:

peel salt off of pretzels
sharpen dozens of pencils at a time
buy tube socks

I may be remembering this wrong, but didn't he have her cut up his Snickers bars so he could eat them with a fork?

Nope. He cut it up himself.

No, he cut the Snickers bars himself. Michael Alexander

Or the time she entered the radio contest so he could hold one of the ropes of the Woody Woodpecker float in the Macy's Thanksgiving Day parade? (Bonus question: What was the name of the song Elaine guessed to win?) Answer below.

Or the time she had to bring his $300 tennis racquet in for re-stringing?
