As funny as this one is.. there is some truth to it. We’ve been talking about the economy for some time here on Domestic Divapalooza.
So I’m sure most of you will get it, right?
Fellow Employees:
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 through 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’m giving it to them.
If you have a better idea, let me know.
Sincerely,
Your Employer
Thank Goodness I do Not have Obama Bumper Stickers!
It is a plan!
Found you on twitter today.
What could be more fair than that? NOTHING in my mind.
But, wouldn’t that be racist? ;)
@Texasholly – I’m so glad you found me on Twitter. I think I am following you now too. Nice to meet you!
@Texas Truth – It sounds pretty fair to me. Especially since businesses are going to have to cut back even more now that the economy is hurting. It’s going to get worse as long as the government continues to bail them out too. On top of that the government is picking and choosing which businesses to save. So yeah.. lay off all the Obama bumper stickers sitting in the employee parking lot.
@PTG – Hmmm racist? Nope. I don’t think that would be racist at all.
good joke, I laughed…. if that only happend in real life.
@Nick – so glad you enjoyed that and it gave you a chuckle.
