Gump Posted November 13, 2008 Report Share Posted November 13, 2008 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.

Disclaimer Posted November 13, 2008 Report Share Posted November 13, 2008 You mean the ones that want handouts? I think he got it right the first time.:nono: I know some "liberals" that would work circles around some "conservatives". If they're at work they obviously weren't asking for handouts.At least the OP put this was "chain mail" in the topic this time around.

When the shit hits the fan in about a year, we'll all look back on this and have a good laugh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
