- Have you heard they have announced a new wave of firing (at) people? Dave said with a concerned look. More than ten thousands this time, ugly ... How is a resource supposed to work with a gun to its head and a clock ticking on his desk?
I said nothing for a while, I have heard this news many time, they usually let go people every year trying to cut costs. The way of the Corporation.
- What do I do if I get a kick in the arse? continued Dave, what can I do? Where to go?
- Bad thing is we've become bonded to the Corporation as slaves to a cotton plantation. Cut our chains we will back to get some more whipping 'cuz we can't do anything else.
Gabe was approaching so Dave became quiet, he knew Gabe had the habit of praising the Corporation and tell us how us ungrateful bastards do not deserve these wonderful well-paid jobs we had.
- Hi guys, he said, you know what? An ungrateful bastard in my team just quit today. He said he was sick of his work, going nowhere with that so he left to his hometown to relax and try to open a business there. Damn fool! He thinks he can make it on his own...
- Well you have to admit that's courageous I said.
- This is madness! Gabe said.
- This is the Corporation! I replied sarcastically.
Dave left in a hurry, he had some paperwork to prepare before his next meeting.
