A Crummy Place to Work?

If you have work humor like the satirical piece that follows  your organization is in real trouble. Quit. (Note that I have not identified the organization. I can tell you that a copy could be found in every copy machine in the business.)

EMPLOYEE SALE: That's right friends. You heard it here first. It will cost us too much to lay them off so WE'RE SELLING THEM.

We must get down to our new one employee per business unit goal, and you can help us. All races, creeds, colors, religions, sexes, and sexual orientations available.

YOU SAY YOU WANT NEW?  We've got 'em. Employees with low mileage---high performance and a lot of years left.

YOU SAY YOU WANT OLD RELIABLES? We've got 'em. The paint is a little gray and they grumble a little but they've seen it all and keep on working.

We've been laying these employees off for years and losing all that severance pay. Now you can help us make a little money in the process.

So come one, come all to the first annual employee sale. (Buy two and get a free IPOD)
