Travel Forum / Travel Types / RV Travel / November 2008These people wanted change
Dear Fellow Business Executives: As the CFO of this business that employees 140 people, I have resigned myself to the fact that Barack 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 our 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 the 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 be let go. So, this is what I did. I strolled thru our parking lot and found eight 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 > As the CFO of this business that employees 140 people, I have resigned > myself to the fact that Barack Obama will be our next President, and > that our taxes and government fees will increase in a BIG way. So, did you steal this from the poster, or did you both steal if from the same place. And I bet you didn't read the group before you posted this message, did you? Because if you did, you would have seen someone else post it just before you did. -john-  Signature====================================================================== John A.

There could be legal ramification, and a Dem judge & jury wouldn't be sympathetic. Better - lie and tell them they were picked at random.

Ralph: >I wouldn't recommend that, politics is a protected class (under beliefs) >and he would lose in just about any court Ralph is probably right, but that is one of the signs that we are already well into the soviet-style police state. Employers SHOULD be able to hire whom they wish, and fire whom they do NOT wish to keep around. The fact that they cannot do that is proof that we are in a managed culture.

[quoted text clipped - 9 lines] >I wouldn't recommend that, politics is a protected class (under beliefs) >and he would lose in just about any court This is almost too silly to comment on but.... No it's not. There are any number of union members who wore the wrong bumper sticker on their cars who found out what it was like to be black-balled. I don't agree with THAT practice but I've certainly heard it discussed in the union hall often enough. Hell, my mom almost got fired for driving a Datsun 280z. She worked for a union international boss. She WOULD have been fired had the previous boss who was still the godfather of the union not said the word. I can't fire you on account of your religious beliefs (at least I don't think I can) but damn sure can fire you because of your politics. Of course, if you come to work wearing one of my towels and sporting a "death to the infidels" bumper sticker, I WILL figure out a way to get rid of you. Legally. I just have to wonder, Ralph. You've never been in upper management, have you? When you're the CEO, prez, chairman of the board or hold some other position at that level, you can do just about anything you want to do. You simply have to think about it awhile. The law is simply an impediment to be gone over, around or under. In the case I cited, it's be my friend's word against the laid off employees. Undoubtedly anyone who'd wear that bumper sticker is deadwood so it won't be hard to document the selection criteria. And since he's going to lay off more than the number of Hussien idiots, there'll be folks to vouch for him. Especially if he does what I suggested.
