Adjusting to the change !!! Reality Hits
As the CEO of this organization, I have resigned myself to the fact that Barrack Obama is our President and that our taxes and government fees will increase in a BIG way. To compensate for these increases, our 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 sixty of our employees instead. This has really been bothering me, since I believe we are family here and I didn't know how to choose who would have to go.
So, this is what I did. I walked through our parking lots and found sixty 'Obama' bumper stickers on our employees' 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 change, I gave it to them.
I will see the rest of you at the annual company picnic.

I tried to edit it in a way that your statement was still there but maybe not as "blazin" Just trying to keep the peace as much as possible.Pinnacle wrote:You edited it, why not just delete it?

Have to agree with you on this one. But, if that starts happening on this site, I'll be disappointed.Pinnacle wrote:You edited it, why not just delete it?

___ I promise you would not have been impressed.
I think we are pretty open here, I let a lot slide thru that would not be most places. We can have a pretty darn open discussion even on topics I disagree with... I don't hate on anyone for having a different view on something than I do. All over this site I just ask that everyone "Play Nice". Making comments about recently deceased that other people know and liked is not really on my list of playing nice.. I changed the post as little as possible so the point could still be made. I did not delete the post because I really hate deleting other people's post.
Keep this quote from the site in mind on all threads.
"PLAY NICE! No ATTACKS on anyone or any religion. Try to stay fact based and back up your facts with a reputable source. Do not temp the Mod Squad as no attacks on other users or threats of any type will be tolerated. Any post in this forum could be deleted or edited. Read at your own risk. No complaining on what may happen."
Furthermore I'm not even angry with anyone. Just a little frustrated now that someone complained that what happened happened when they should have known better.
I still love you guys... LOL

I love it! E you will never make everyone happy, but I must admit you have done a great job so far. On another site they have an idiot that is really bad and they continue to allow him to post. I like those folks, but certain things I just don't understand. Anyway, keep up the good work. ___ and RE3 don't count anyway. However I am happy!!!
