* MightMakesRight: He believes in this philosophy, especially in regards to employee hierarchies. To him, what matters is that he's in charge and everyone works for him.

* TheStarscream: Attempting to usurp Death as the CEO of Death Inc.
* StationaryBoss: Downplayed. He teleports around, more often once his second phase is hit, but he doesn't do a lot of moving otherwise. He compensates for this with far-reaching attacks that discourages Death from staying close to him for long and forces him to move around.

* AIIsACrapshoot: PlayedWith. He's a mascot animatronic intent on causing as much death as possible. The thing is, that's his job. He's still incredibly disobedient, and fully willing to attack Death and do what he pleases to achieve his goals.
* CaptainErsatz: Waldo (and by extension his Waldo Burger brand) are an obvious take-off on the [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Big_Boy_Restaurants Big Boy]] chain of American diner restaurants, having a near-identical mascot and a similar menu of food items.
* CeilingCling: His mech will sometimes cling to the ceiling to shoot soda at you.
* ChainsawGood: He wields a chainsaw for his second phase with murderous glee.
* CruelAndUnusualDeath: He is killed each time by [[HoistByHisOwnPetard his own chainsaw]] ''flipping into the air and landing directly on his face'', which is given no GoryDiscretionShot. Granted, it's a lot less gory than it could be due to Waldo being a MeatSackRobot, but it's still a lot more graphic than any of the other ways the Sorrows are killed.
* EdibleAmmunition: In the second stage of his boss battle, Waldo rides around on a bottle of soda that he also uses to spray Death.
* FauxAffablyEvil: He projects a cheery and friendly persona expected of a fast food mascot. He's also the sorrow in charge of deaths related to his food, and takes great pleasure in causing all of it.
* HauntedTechnology: Implied to be possessed by the spirit of a Waldo Burger employee who died in a walk-in freezer.
* HostileAnimatronics: He's a robot, though clearly fully sapient. And capable of bleeding, apparently.
* MiniMecha: He jumps into battle riding one, his head being the only part of himself sticking out of it. Once he hits his second phase, he bursts out of it to attack you himself.
* OdeToFood: Ninety percent of his dialogue is this.
* PerpetualSmiler: Downplayed. He has a smile plastered on his face at the start of the fight, but once the second phase hits, he drops the cheery facade all together.
* SequentialBoss: While all bosses do have a second phase, Waldo is the first to have his be drastically different from his first. His first phase has him attacking you in his spider mech, crawling around the room and ceiling to attack you from all angles. Come the second phase, he bursts out with a chainsaw and settles with attacking you up close.
* WasOnceAMan: While not stated directly, the employee handbook entry for Waldo does mention Death encountering a young employee who died after getting locked in a Waldo Burger freezer, and who may or may not have taken up Waldo's identity as his new job. It also notes that said employee was [[DissonantSerenity not especially astonished or put off by arriving at Death Inc.]]

!!Waldo
-> ''"11 million deaths a year, that's what we call a career! Palapa-papaaa..."''
The beloved franchise mascot of Waldo Burger, Waldo, is more than just a made up character designed for the purpose of marketing; he's also the Sorrow of the Toxic Food-Processing Department. He's happy to promote his products, and even more so to see the deaths he ends up causing in the process.

[[folder:The "Bridgets"]]
The penultimate guardian(s?) of the Inevitable Time Department, and the Thanager(s?) of the Mail and Chronology department.
----
* BodyOfBodies: They are three employees named Bridget, Brigitte and Mary-Bridget combined into one entity.
* GoingPostal: They're essentially Time's mailmen, and are also all too eager to kill you while boasting a wide grine on one of their faces.
* LightningBruiser: They hit hard with their fast-moving scissor {{Dash Attack}}s and have enough health that they could be a Sorrow in their own right.
* PreFinalBoss: The Bridgets are the only required Thanager in the entire game, their defeat being necessary to confront Time, and boy will they make you ''work'' for that confrontation.
* ThreadsOfFate: They attack using these along with the scissors they use to cut them, and their pitbook entry suggests that they're the inspiration for numerous [[TheHecateSisters Hecate Sisters]] across mythology who also use this technique.

Evidence points to her not being human, though Death himself seems confused as to what she is.

* BedsheetGhost: During the Halloween event, she dons a bedsheet and tries to scare the other employees. The results are...mixed, to say the least, though Death and O'shah find it humorously ironic.

* CannotSpitItOut: She has a rather-obvious crush on her boss, but either can't express it, or doesn't understand her own feelings.



* DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything: After you beat Maxxx for the first time, she expresses (understandable) fear at his increasingly-erratic behavior before asking if she can sleep in Death's bed - or at least in his office.
* GameOverMan: She's typically the NPC you encounter after respawning, and may make a comment on whatever most recently killed you, or talk about work.

* GoodThingYouCanHeal: Her head gets destroyed often, but she casually grows it back every single time.
* MoralityPet: She's only an ''intern'', but she's so dedicated to working as Death's right hand and making his miserable days just a little better that he can't help but feel a bit of attachment for the girl (the extent of which is a little unclear, but undeniable). It shows in several in-game events and Items:
** One unlockable item to be found in the fridge in the break room is a bento box she made for him. It's possibly one of the best and its description referring to her mentions her being cute.
** The event of April Ghouls in Death Inc. gives Brad unique dialog where he contemplates going after her with a prank. Death notably nosedives into a full on FURY, and winning the fight has him full-stop telling Brad to stay the hell away from his intern.
** The Halloween events have Pump at first dress up as a ghost, which Death likes and finds amusing, considering their workspace. When Pump is picked to be a "sacrifice" for a Halloween ritual, [[spoiler: which is really a kind of hazing ritual, with her being beheaded as a setpiece for the break room's Halloween Party]]. Death is VERY unamused when he confronts Patrick about it, and [[spoiler:returns her head after grabbing it off the table, reviving her(she seemingly has memory problems as a result, as she can't remember wearing her ghost costume).]]
** Her transformation into Pump Quinn Omega has him being very concerned for her after she's revived post-victory.
