"People were fired so that everyone can keep their jobs."

[thistlechaser]

Hour and a half meeting, the basic message was this:

"People were fired and will continue to be fired as needed so that everyone can keep their jobs."

Um, hello? If you're going to give us an excuse, can you at least say something that makes sense? You're not saving *everyone's* jobs, you're "saving" the jobs of the people you didn't fire.

Grrr.

Back to work.

I was curious to see what line of crap they'd throw you today. That's just about the most inane thing I've ever heard. A pox on them.

[thistle-chaser.livejournal.com]

Yeah. I wish other people had reacted more, but everyone just sat there and listened. At least almost no one clapped at the end. (Usually they want us to clap at everything and anything that happens at meetings...)

"We had to destroy the village to save it."

[thistle-chaser.livejournal.com]

Exactly. Did they expect us to somehow think that we were safe, and it was only everyone else in the room who might be fired to save the others?

Bah.

That has to be the most pathetic explanation of a layoff I've heard. What company?

Isn't it? I'll send you the name of the company to your LJ address. I'm trying to keep things which will easily identify the RL me out of this journal, just in case it's found by work folks or anyone like that.

thanks
