How to Lay Off People In This Economy

LETTER FROM THE BOSS.....

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%. Since we cannot increase our prices right
now due to the dismal state of the economy, we will have to lay off six 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 lot and found six
Obama bumper stickers on our employees' cars and have decided these folks will
be the ones to 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.
