Letter from the Boss,
As the CEO of this business that employs 140
people, I have accepted the fact that Barack Obama is our
new President, and that our taxes and government fees will
now increase in a BIG way.
To compensate for this additional overhead, I
figure that the clients will have to see an increase in our
fees of about 8% but since we cannot raise those prices
right now due to the dismal state of our economy, we will
have to lay off several of our employees instead. This
unfortunate economic reality has really been eating at me
for a while, as we believe we are family here and I didn't
know how to choose who will have to go.
After giving it considerable thought, this is
what I did: I strolled thru our
parking lot and found 11 Obama bumper stickers
on our employees' cars and have decided these folks will be
the first to be laid off. I can't think of a more fair way
to approach this problem. They wanted change; I gave it to
them.
If you have a better idea, let me know.
Sincerely,
The Boss
LONGTOM
