Hollywood's friend Steve runs a business with his father in Atlanta. This is an email he claims to have sent out to his employees. I don't know if that's true, but I'm still laughing!
To All Employees,
As the CFO of this business that employs 140 people, I have resignedmyself to the fact that Barack Obama is our new President and that ourtaxes and government fees will increase in a BIG way.
To compensate for these increases, I figure that the clients will haveto see an increase in our fees of about 8% but since we cannot increaseour fees right now due to the dismal state of our economy, we will haveto lay off eight of our employees instead. This has really been eatingat me for a while, as we believe we are family here and I didn't knowhow to choose who will have to go.
So, this is what I did. I strolled thru our parking lot and found 8Obama bumper stickers on our employees' cars and have decided thesefolks will be the first to be laid off. I can't think of a more fairway to approach this problem. These folks wanted change; I gave it to them.
If you have a better idea, let me know.
Sincerely,
Steven Baumrind
