The Real Consequences of Obama's Policies Finally Setting In

Chain mail that was sent to me. Whether the letter is&nbsp;fake or real, the situation in itself is real. <em>As the CFO of this business that employees 140 people, I have&nbsp; resigned myself to the fact that Barrack Obama will be our next&nbsp;President, and that our taxes and government fees will increase in&nbsp;a BIG&nbsp;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&nbsp;we cannot increase our fees right now due to the dismal state of our&nbsp;economy, we will have to lay off six of our employees instead. This&nbsp;has really been eating at me for a while, as we believe we are family&nbsp;here and I didnt know how to choose who will have to go.&nbsp;<br> <br>So, this is what I did. I strolled thru our parking lot and found&nbsp;6 Obama bumper stickers on our employees cars and have decided these folks will be the first to be laid off. I cant think of a more fair&nbsp;way to approach this problem. These folks wanted change; I gave it to them.&nbsp;<br><br>If you have a better idea, let me know.</em>

    A far more realistic approach would be to look at the persons who can absorb the workload of those people being dismissed. Someone will have to take on more work; I certainly would not dismiss those persons. Does that CFO want to terminate someone who is capable of handling more just because he/she supported a candidate?

    That seems ill thought out and immature and very vindictive. I would imagine that CFO is not too bright and difficult to work under.
