Edit: 2 This JOKE ARTICLE was included in an actual corporate newsletter. (Probably local to this particular C-F-A) Many people in this thread assumed I thought this was REAL.
The fact that the CEO from C-F-A would fire 6 people to make up for 10% in profit loss, and the absolute shit grammar was enough for me to understand this was not a REAL article. It was a display of some of the worst judgment I've seen in a long time. (OK, worst LOCAL judgment)
I guess I could have been a bit more clear about my reason for posting this. (The manger was an assface for including this JOKE.)
That said, here's the transcript, followed by the scan of the actual newletter obtained from an employee of the restaurant.
Warning! What you read is not meant to be taken literally! It's joke!
Hope that covers it.
A 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, or prices would have to increase by about 10%
But 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 a family here and I don't know how to choose who would have to go.
So, this is what I did. I waled through our parking lot and found six 'Obama' bumper stickers on our employee's 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 a change, and I can give it to them.
This from the South Bend, Indiana location. I'll scan the newsletter later tonight.
At least it makes it easier to choose where to to eat.
Edit: No, I don't think this is serious. Just seriously poor judgement to put this into a corporate newsletter.
