"Employee of the Month"
The SpongeBob SquarePants Movie
In one of the first scenes, SpongeBob tells Gary that Mr. Krabs will be announcing the new manager of the Krusty Krab 2, and says that he believes that he will be the new manager because he has 374 consecutive employee of the month awards.
"The Original Fry Cook"
In this episode, Jim receives "The Best Employee Ever Award," which was placed under all of SpongeBob's Employee of the Month awards.
"Breath of Fresh Squidward"
Squidward, after being shocked by his electric fence, begins to work as a cook along with SpongeBob. After Squidward adds ketchup dimples to a Krabby Patty, SpongeBob eagerly tells Mr. Krabs as he thinks that this will hurt Squidward's chances of getting the award, but Mr. Krabs loves it and gives the award to Squidward anyway. This serves as the catalyst to send SpongeBob over the edge, lashing out at him during Squidward's celebration party at Patrick's house.
