Bottom Liners by Eric and Bill Teitelbaum for February 17, 2024

Exemplary cause for termination.

As long as I get three months salary in my severance package.

Is it layoff season already?

You’re exactly the kind of boss we love to hate

Firing him based on his last name seems pretty prejudicial.

Looking for someone to take the blame

Now we know why Santos.

Funny, he doesn’t look like Rep. Nancy Mace.

Not as far-fetched as you think.

In his book about his time at GE, Jack Welch stated that he attempted to make GE better by firing the “bottom 10%” of performers annually. Eventually, managers caught on, and started hiring “expendable” people to fill that 10% quota. Of course, the other 90% had to continually take up the slack from the under-performers. In the short run, it worked. In the long-run, it didn’t.

And it’ll happen just before payday.

Back in my college days, I got a summer job at a unionized company that required 30 days employment before you were covered under the union contract. You can guess the rest: I was let go on day 29!

Quit while you’ve a head.

Santos, he makes the rest of the asylum look almost normal.

well, at least he can collect unemployment…(again??)

Gonna take you Hire … Gonna take you hireHire and hire.
