Free Range by Bill Whitehead for May 26, 2023

All without a net nor "drop"cloth.

I hope there’s some water at the bottom of the fall.

Would getting fired be as literal as this getting laid off is.

How they land after this layoff could make a big difference.

When you are told you may want to have a lawyer peruse the document, DO IT.

My employer tried not to pay me when I got hurt on job. Workman’s comp would have been less than what they got sold for. Claimed I was faking after three knee operations.

Laid Off, cannons haven’t been invented yet.

When you hear a Meep Meep, you know you’re out of time …

Not seeing a single golden parachute amongst them. Must be middle management.

I believe that is how they fire ineffective officers in the Russian Army.

To many businesses, employees are a necessary evil- to be dispensed with whenever possible. They call in sick, talk back, get pregnant, want holidays off, vacation time and healthcare benefits, and can’t be made to work 24 hours per day- all normal human things but perceived as poisonous for profits. If AI does take over the world, it will be because it costs less than people.

the freefall is fine…it’s just the sudden stop that’ll sting ya!

They should have kept him, Mr. Sunshine…

Those two guys must be pushing FAST, given the short distances between the fallers.

The company is down sizing.

Cue up Tom Petty’s Free Falling.
