    TODAY: The dam has never been more profitable, now that we’ve fired all the folks with their fingers in the little cracks.

    THIS TIME NEXT YEAR: Oh no! The dam has failed! Please help us, we need bailouts!

    I hate feeling like an expendable human resource. When I was laid off it was completely without advanced notice, they’re never considerate enough to notify you two weeks in advance (like we are supposed to do).

    It’s not like the executive types are known for their empathy. I’ve seen the Chairman of the Board throw full on temper tantrums (and throwing stuff) at his subordinates. They have zero qualms laying us off if it means it increases this quarter’s bottom line.
