Joke: Layoffs

[Bumper]

As the CFO of this business that employees 140 people, I have resigned myself to the fact that Barrack Obama will be our next President, and that our taxes and government fees will increase in a BIG way.

To compensate for these increases, I figure that the Clients will have to see an increase in our fees to them of about 8% but since we cannot increase our fees right now due to the dismal state of our economy, we will have to lay off six of our employees instead. This 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.

So, this is what I did. I strolled thru our parking lot and found 8 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. These folks wanted change; I gave it to them.

If you have a better idea, let me know.

To me that doesn't fall into the joke category. It makes too much sense. If I were in charge of a company that is about to be hit with all the new taxes from the Obama, Pelosi, and Reid crowd, I would do something very similar. Fair is fair.

That will help lay off enough to save for the increases year after next. Take this, thou supporters of "change" :hump: Of all the things that will happen, I have no doubt there will be "change".

I love it, but as gimpy said it makes too much sense to be a joke. Maybe the "thought of the day" = Be careful for what you wish for!

By Sept. '09 you won't be able to find one soul who will admit to voting for President Acorn.
