Don't forget to consume resource!

There was silence in the meeting room. Then the manager suddenly started to talk with a serious voice:
- The Corporation isn't doing that good folks, you should know. There are tough times, we don't sell enough, the market is contracting, the prices can't grow. Profit is smaller and smaller by the year. You know how that make us feel in front of our trusted and honorable shareholders?

It was a rhetorical question perhaps but anyway no one dared speak up so the manager continued:
- So we all must make sacrifices you know. No raises, no bonus, no nothing for the next year. Just tremendous work to help the Corporation grow and achieve the success it deserves. You know why the profit is so low? Why the sales so few?

Again a rhetorical question maybe, again no reply. The manager yelled the response:
- Because the frickin' resources don't buy that much anymore. That's the problem. This society is built to work your assess off, pay lousy salaries and you are expected to give us back those money by purchasing our goods at high prices. And be happy and proud of it. Proud you can afford it. Ashamed if you can't afford. Look at you neighbour Jones, he bought himself a new car. Yours is already three years old, you should be ashamed to look in his eyes. Buy a new car and face the music. You can't afford it? Go to the bank and get a frickin' loan.

The manager stopped and looked angrily in the crowd:
- Do you even understand this? No matter you are not getting more raises and bonuses, you simply don't frickin' spend enough! Now get to work resources!
