Letter From the Boss
Posted: March 4th, 2009, 1:25 pm
As the CEO of this organization, I have resigned myself to
the fact that Barack 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 six 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 lot
and found six 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.
