Today's Joke from My Winger Boss
As the CFO of this business that employees 140 people, I have resigned myself to the fact that with Barack Obama as our next President, 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.

"These folks wanted change; I gave it to them."
This would be funny if it weren't so logical. Once again the Hampster cuts to the heart of the matter.
No, I really wouldn't advocate doing this but it's certainly a creative approach. After all, aren't managers supposed to think outside the box?
Back in the old days, lay-offs used to be done by seniority - new people first. And out of this group; perhaps the Obamabots should go first.
