I had to layoff 60 employees
« on: February 01, 2010, 04:39:49 PM »
To ALL MY EMPLOYEES:
As the CEO of this organization, I have resigned myself to the fact that Barrack Obama is our President and that our taxes and government fees will increase in a BIG way.
To compensate for these increases, our prices would have to increase by about 10%.. But since we cannot increase our prices right now due to the dismal state of the economy, we will have to lay off sixty of our employees instead. This has really been bothering me, since I believe we are family here and I didn't know how to choose who would have to go.
So, this is what I did. I walked through our parking lots and found sixty 'Obama' bumper stickers on our employees' cars and have decided these folks will be the ones to let go. I can't think of a more fair way to approach this problem. They voted for change, I gave it to them.
I will see the rest of you at the annual company picnic.

No bumper stickers... I do have an Obama for president yard sign left over from the election, it makes a great target backer.  Kind of hoping the guy around the corner would replace it with Democratic candidate for congress sign soon, his Obama sign is getting pretty shot up.   ;)

Legally can't lay off someone for political stuff like that. BUT, covertly, yes. While I don't wish hard times on anyone, Obama fanatical lovers really should lose their money where their mouth is, since natural consequences are just part of life....
