Look at it from Management’s position: They can’t scale back on the employee roll, even by attrition. Nobody retires, nobody gets fired, and new hires are coming in every day. Collections are down, in terms of both market share and per capita percentage. Infrastructure maintenance is killing the balance sheet; do you know how much it costs to fill potholes when the streets are paved with gold?
Of course, in some sense He’s got no one but Himself to blame. Ever since He let His son rewrite the hiring policies, they’ve been cut off from the Luxury Consumer market; that “camel through the eye of a needle” clause in the contract has really choked the revenue stream, and prior managerial experience will pretty much guarantee your C.V. won’t make it past the receptionist.
The r-word would have been more appropriate than C.V., but it’s a pain in the butt to dig up the accented “e”, and I don’t like seeing it without it. Even italicized, I keep hearing it in my head as “re-ZOOM” rather than “RE-zoo-may”
Of course, the rank-and-file have legitimate complaints. Barring canonization, there’s little hope for advancement once you’re on the payroll, and unless you’re a Saint you can forget about parking anywhere near the Head Office. Besides which, you’re expected to work Sundays and religious holidays for no additional compensation.
Do angels really have wings or not? (I don’t need to know how many can dance on the head of a pin. Seems silly anyway, not really relevant like whether or not they have wings - and say, while we’re on the subject, what about female angels? Wouldn’t male angels get a little touchy without any female angels? This stuff is important…)
Joe: “The above are the kinds of angels in which Mike Baldwin believes.”
Correction: Those are the kinds of angels which Mike Baldwin draws, as do the vast majority of cartoonists. We have no idea in what kind of angels, if any, he believes.

It looks as though they are going to have their wings clipped.

C.V. = academic resume. Cirriculum vitae

And you don’t often see angels wearing pants underneath their robes…

Jack Chick, however, might actually believe his comics.
