"What is making the most money, now, that we're geared to?"

"Mobile broadband."

"Good. Fire everybody who doesn't do that, grab billions, give me the money and close the company. And I want a bonus."

"'Sieg heil."

Relax, don't do it.

Nadie_AZ: All hail he job creators.

Heil He!

Well they can always become Jizz moppers

Thanks President Obama.

Penis.

Wait, is this the same company that was complaining a few months ago that they couldn't find skilled workers?

That's a lot of blueballed workers.

mama told me not to come,
so I kind of already knew

jbuist: I worked for a company that was acquired by Siemens about a year before I started. Story told to me was at the big meeting where they were going to discuss the changes the president walked out and opened with, "Well, we're Siemens now and we're all swimming together."

Then you saw the whiteboard, upon which was writ,
"You laugh you lose!"

The future of the American economy is the small local business.

MVEAlpha: That's a lot of blueballed workers.

I think the term is pink slit

Came to point this out.

/used to be a Siemens vendor at MS. Company suuuuuucked.

Ever get the feeling that most of corporate America is a bunch of cardboard point of purchase displays with nothing behind them but rats and a little dispenser that's connected to China?

Maybe they are just going to revert back to WW2 staffing levels and lower their cost.

cig-mkr: And the managers will get big bonuses for "right sizing" the company and the stocks will go up because they cut cost. Remember folks that these aren't really people, they are just numbers.

The zenith of corporate whoredom is an office with three people, a small blade server and a private cargo ship that makes bounce runs to China and every so often, you fire one of the three remaining people and "cut labor by 1/3!". Then you gut the company, find another business where you spend .03 to make 10.00 and change the name and hire the third person back. Job creation! Ta da.

Oh, quick addendum. The only way to dismantle a leviathan is to starve it. Keep your wallets away from the end products and services of companies that work like that and they go away.

Large corporations always make layoffs around the holidays to bump the stock price. This is nothing new.

And in spite of it being oh, so last week, it still blows fat f*cking walrus cock. Go figure.

I used to work for a company located on Bahls street. We used Siemens software. They fired me.

By the way, guys - 18 days until that little program I left behind takes effect.

/Don't piss off the IT guy.
