Post by Ostinato Rubato »

I had to layoff 13 people today. Sucks.


Went a lot smoother than I anticipated, at least.

Certain lines aren’t selling like they used to so we just had to adjust to the market.

It was a total surprise. Blind side.

Reminds me of an episode of Cheers when Norm's boss assigns him to fire people.
Not sure why they broke it up into three videos.

Go watch The Office and don’t return until you do.

The fuck kind of person in 2019 doesn’t know about The Office?

I wonder how many Jim smiling through the blinds memes have been wasted on you.

And in a thread where Mike is talking about firing people right before the holidays; a move that's impressively corporate beatdown level bullshit for all involved; somehow clipless bumper manages to lower the bar. :clap: Well done.

My ban-hammer sense is tingling.

Those asking who Toby is should be forced to attend a David Brent hosted business seminar.

The office is more than just TV. It is some of the most clever writing I've ever seen and executed possibly even better.

We're pretty mom and pop. This didn't really come to pass from board room decisions made by emotionless reptilians.
