Bill, I'm sorry, but this is bull crap. Obama isn't even in office and this story wants to plant the blame on the incoming administration? Me thinks they need to clean off their rose colored glasses and find the true reason for our current problems. I'm not trying to say the blame is ALL on the current administration, but they certainly are at the helm. I've had a couple to many drinks 2night otherwise I would tackle this e-mail with more gusto. Perhaps I will try manana. Oops. my glass is empty. Back to the bar for more important things. Good night to all ya'all turkeys. Rummy In a message dated 11/28/2008 5:12:22 P.M. Eastern Standard Time, bill at effros.com writes: As the CEO of this business that employs 140 people, I have resigned myself to the fact that Barack Obama is now our next President, and that our taxes and government fees will increase in a BIG way. To compensate for these increases, I figure that the 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 our 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 go. So, this is what I did. I strolled through our parking lot and found 8 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.See the original archive post
