That is the Cantonese pronunciation of it. In the beginning of the thread there is a mandarin pronuciation of it as well.

Lay-cee is the cantonese pronunciation of the red-packets (you know, thing with the money inside). Example below, do a scroll down and you will find the def of what we're talking about (what lang is angpau anyways? Maybe mandarin?)

You're right. I'm CHN and I don't even want to work for a chinese boss. I think I'd always feel I was underperforming. Now with regular americans, they can always know when to use a "coffee/cigarette break".
