You can't be any fairer than this guy...
Dear Employees:
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 sixty 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 lots and found
sixty 'Obama' bumper stickers on our employees' cars and have decided these
folks will be the ones to get 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.
