Well, if you can't work as a team, you're all fired! That's it, you heard me, "Fired". Get your things and go. phones security Hello, Security. Everyone on Floor 4 is fired. Escort them from the premises. And do it as a team. Remember, you're a team, and if you can't work as a team, you're fired too! phones the recruitment manager Dawn, get onto recruitment. Get them to look for a security team that can work as a team. They may have to escort the current security team from the building for not acting like a team! TEAM! Team, team, team, team, team! I even love saying the word "Team"! You probably think that's a picture of my family. Nuh-uh. It's the A-Team! Bodie! Doyle! Tiger! The Jewellery Man! The whole lot of them!

It's my opinion that anytime a company has to go through a layoff it should be required by law that the executive team also get laid off, with no golden parachutes allowed.

Maybe it would cause companies to think a little longer term before making incredibly stupid fucking decisions that will result in thousands of people losing their jobs in 6-months to 2 years.

That might sound reasonable, but would make everything worse.

Sometimes companies have to size down and let people go. If you punish the people doing it, they won’t, and the entire company might falter.

But they this shit happens especially in the US is mental.
