At the Krusty Krab, [[SpongeBob]] reminds Squidward that today is the beginning of judging for the Employee of the Month Award. However, Squidward tells SpongeBob that the award is a scam, and Mr. Krabs is only giving it to him so he'll work harder for less money, but SpongeBob doesn't believe him.
At the Krusty Krab, SpongeBob reminds Squidward that today is the beginning of judging for the Employee of the Month Award. However, Squidward tells SpongeBob that the award is a scam, and Mr. Krabs is only giving it to him so he'll work harder for less money, but SpongeBob doesn't believe him. Mr. Krabs warns SpongeBob that Squidward might get the new Employee of the Month Award, and since SpongeBob has 26 consecutive awards (and wants a 27th), he starts worrying. Squidward says that he could get the award if he wanted to, and [[File:Employee of the month.jpg|thumb|250px]]SpongeBob asks him to prove it. Squidward tells him that the award is fake, but SpongeBob refuses to believe him. After they both decide that they will arrive at the Krusty Krab earlier than the other; that night, SpongeBob tries to destroy Squidward's alarm clock so he won't wake up, but Squidward has 28 more in his closet. The two argue again about the award, and they say they don't even have to sleep. They both set several traps for each other as they both desperately try to reach the Krusty Krab first, and, after a temporary truce, both get there at the same time, just as Mr. Krabs opens the doors. They begin overworking in an attempt to impress him, doing more harm than good, scaring Mr. Krabs out of his wits in the process. They then begin trying to make as many Krabby Patties as possible, eventually causing the Krusty Krab to explode. Krabby Patties rain down from the sky, to the delight of the citizens of Bikini Bottom, and while Mr. Krabs tries to make the people pay for them, SpongeBob and Squidward ask him who is the Employee of the Month, giving Mr. Krabs a headache. In a future episode, we find out that SpongeBob won.

Synopsis

At the Krusty Krab, SpongeBob reminds Squidward that today is the beginning of judging for the Employee of the Month Award. However, Squidward tells SpongeBob that the award is a scam, and Mr. Krabs is only giving it to him so he'll work harder for less money, but SpongeBob doesn't believe him.

Mr. Krabs warns SpongeBob that Squidward might get the new Employee of the Month Award, and since SpongeBob has 26 consecutive awards (and wants a 27th), he starts worrying. Squidward says that he could get the award if he wanted to, and

Employee of the month

SpongeBob asks him to prove it. Squidward tells him that the award is fake, but SpongeBob refuses to believe him.

After they both decide that they will arrive at the Krusty Krab earlier than the other; that night, SpongeBob tries to destroy Squidward's alarm clock so he won't wake up, but Squidward has 28 more in his closet. The two argue again about the award, and they say they don't even have to sleep. They both set several traps for each other as they both desperately try to reach the Krusty Krab first, and, after a temporary truce, both get there at the same time, just as Mr. Krabs opens the doors. They begin overworking in an attempt to impress him, doing more harm than good, scaring Mr. Krabs out of his wits in the process.

They then begin trying to make as many Krabby Patties as possible, eventually causing the Krusty Krab to explode. Krabby Patties rain down from the sky, to the delight of the citizens of Bikini Bottom, and while Mr. Krabs tries to make the people pay for them, SpongeBob and Squidward ask him who is the Employee of the Month, giving Mr. Krabs a headache.

"Chumbucket"?

  • Sometimes, YTV accidentally lists this episode as "Chumbucket" instead of it's actual name. The Chum Bucket is not even seen in this episode. Also for some reason, YTV sometimes says this episode originally aired on 2014/03/14 (March 14, 2014). The air date is technically wrong.
  • SpongeBob's calendar said it was "March" but on the picture frame it said it was January. Also, the calendar had 28 as the last day of the month, meaning it must have been February.
  • There is a fan going in the kitchen, even though according to the "Employee of The Month" picture frame for that month, it is January.
  • Even though SpongeBob says that he won Employee of the Month for 26 months, there are actually 43 frames.
  • On the First 100 Episodes DVD, it's says this episode originally aired on March 8, 2000. This is not correct.
  • When SpongeBob shows the calendar showing "Annoy Squidward Day" on the 15th, the date of the 21st is right below it. In a real calendar, the 22nd would be below the 15th.
  • When SpongeBob goes to Squidward's closet it is filled with alarm clocks. In the next scene, he is breaking them, the others disappear, and is seen breaking one clock.
  • When SpongeBob sneaks into Squidward's house, all of Squidward's furniture is in the room. However, while SpongeBob is running back and forth from the closet with the clocks in it, the room is empty.
  • When SpongeBob is crying "How could the quality of my work slip so much?," the frame on the picture of Squidward says "January." But the frame before it said "February," then changes back to December.
  • When SpongeBob saws his front door in attempt to escape, the door hits Squidward. In the next scene, he immediately re-appears as normal.
  • When SpongeBob and Squidward run away from each other, Squidward gets trapped in a giant bottle. In the next scene, he runs again.
  • When Squidward walks into the bottle it seems he walk at the back but it is covered.
  • If you look closely in one scene where SpongeBob is in Squidward's pillowcase SpongeBob's eyes turn green and then they are back to normal.
  • Squidward's clock says 9:00 when he goes to bed, but in his closet full of clocks, most of them say 8:05. They all later switch to the correct time.
  • The diving board located above SpongeBob's bed is not seen in this episode.
  • When SpongeBob looks into Squidward's House to spy on him, Squidward sets his alarm clock on the nightstand with a lamp, but when SpongeBob goes into Squidward's House, the alarm is on the other nightstand with no lamp.
  • Right before SpongeBob sees Squidward's face on the "Employee of the Month" award, the order of the awards is:
    • On the third to last row, "February," "December," January," "February," "December."
    • On the second to last row, "April," "May," "Mach," "April", "May."
    • On the bottom row: "December," "January," "February," and "January."
  • When the "Employee of the Month" awards are panning down when SpongeBob thinks Squidward might be right about the awards, in the last readable row, the order of the awards is, "Mach," "April," "May," "March."
  • When "March" SpongeBob is giving real SpongeBob a pep talk, the award after "March" is "February."
  • Unless Mr. Krabs started the "Employee of the Month" award in January, it should be March, not January.
