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.
Sincerely,
The Boss
