Did profits shrink this year, making your rich shareholders unhappy? Did they threaten to fire you if you didn’t make changes? Are you too nervous to lay off your employees because it takes away their livelihood?
Well good news! Next time you need to cut costs, fire people. But here is the important thing – when you fire them, tell them that you take responsibility for it! They’ll be very appreciative to hear that you’ve learned your lesson about hiring too many people.
The workers can’t be mad at you, because you took responsibility by actually taking no responsibility at all!

Joking aside, this is the dumbest trend ever.
