- Our boss brought us into the conference room and told us that, since our profits were marginal this quarter, that we were all fired. I presumed that this wasn’t only because of marginal profits, we were great salesmen. I asked and he said that if we wanted to consolidate our jobs and keep them safe, that we should have not been talking of a union. He winced once I told him that I was recording this conversation and that unions are protected in the state I’m in, and that his plan was inflammable and is about to go up in flames. Good thing my virtual phone could record all of this, I thought to myself. He hatched a makeshift plan to grab a domestic flight anonymously yet was turned away when his fake papers were rejected at the airport! Prior to this he was a high level businessman, now he’s just a fugitive. I hope his prison cell isn’t to sodden, he’s in there for the next 12 years and all.
