Change is Good - Outlaw Josey Wales - 03-26-2009

Letter from the Boss,

As the CEO of this business that employs 1,400 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
