Dear Employees:

As the CEO of this business that employs 140 people, I have accepted the
fact that Barack Obama is our new President, and that our taxes and
government fees will now increase in a BIG way.

To compensate for this additional overhead, I figure that the clients
will have to see an increase in our fees of about 8% but since we cannot
raise those prices right now due to the dismal state of our economy, we
will have to lay off several of our employees instead. This unfortunate
economic reality has really been eating at me for a while, as we believe
we are family here and I didn't know how to choose who will have to go.

After giving it considerable thought, this is what I did: I strolled
through our parking lot and found 11 employees' cars with Obama bumper stickers on  them, and have decided
these folks will be the first to be
laid off.  I can't think of a more fair way to approach this problem.
They wanted change; I gave it to them.

If you have a better idea, let me know..

Sincerely,

The Boss
