Fiscal Downsizing

Shit. John got fired. Laid off. Taking a non-paid leave. Something like that. Only people guaranteed their jobs are Presidents of the United States and sometimes they sleep with interns and leave the Presidential Seal all over a navy blue sailor suit dress and even then, still got a job. And John, he got let go because he wasn’t cutting taxes or sending troops to the desert to search for oil, because he was low, lower than low, just started yesterday low, bottom drawer of the file cabinet low. Company said it wasn’t anything he did or didn’t do – he just didn’t have seniority. Fiscal downsizing. Something like that. Office jargon for: Listen, buddy. We’re paying our CEO 22 times your yearly income in one week. We don’t got no money left for you.

So John got fired. So I quit.
