Layoff the worker bees, the ones who actually make the product we sell, so they can hire more suits to tell us what should be in the product we sell but have no one to make. If only they had explained that strategy to us 4 years ago when the cuts started. They we could have gotten on bored with it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
