My favorite new layoff process is; “Well, our profits aren’t going to be as large as predicted, so were going to have to layoff 10,000 workers” or another new one is a company or corporation that is the main employment for an entire town threatening closure and layoffs to get a piece of government bailout billions, hence holding the town hostage. (which is especially worrisome if the company is owned by foreign interests which don’t have much of a chance for a domestic bailout)
hmmm… we’re losing jobs worldwide, there’s less food per capita, desertification continues apace due to poor conservation policies and bad farming practices in developing countries… but are the religious and political leaders telling anyone to stop breeding? Heck no, in fact we’ve got single moms taking fertility treatments, and getting applauded for multiple births. Sounds like a real solution to all our problems to me!
Actually, I remember a great comic - don’t remember where - that showed a suicide bomber school with the teacher saying “OK, now watch closely because I’m only going to show you this once…”
Hey, gang! “The Washington Post” Comic Riffs blog is taking noms for favorite webcomic, and TNAOQV is his first choice. Go show the strip some love! http://ow.ly/9j9
When I saw who was in the final panel, my first thought was that he was going to say something like: “WE WON!” Now, THAT would have gotten you hate mail.

~DF, I saw that, too, and I’m guessing that it was on GoComics.

That’s one bunch of nut-cases that would be good to lose some numbers.

That organization is continually shedding unnecessary associates via a process called “suicide bombing”.

I would think he could reach his workforce reduction goals through attrition, with the help of the U.S. Army, Air Force, and Marines.

New depth to the phrase, “You’re fired.”

I was pondering posting a witty joke about a trapeze artist who was let go, but decided it was in bad taste.

or the human cannonball who was fired, huh?

steverino: I have no qualms about bad taste, obviously.

It would result in a net gain though…

Ira: Yes, but that would be true, and the truth isn’t often as funny as fantasy.
