    “Ruining the lives of my employees weighs heavily on my soul, but do not fret! Lose no sleep over my anguish, for I am prepared for this (unlike the employees I just laid off). I console myself with the confidence that this will help me make much more money. I shall overcome even this trying time and emerge even wealthier than you ever dreamt possible, and those of you who aren’t fired will do most of the work for me. Seriously, we lost a lot of people, so I need you to work unpaid overtime.”

    Sometimes it isnt outright greed and businesses NEED to lay people off and restructure or else the whole business could go under. Even if thats the case tho, trying to spin it as a positive or as a motivational speech just makes you look like a tonedeaf cunt.

    Come out, say “Its unfortunate, but…” and then shut the fuck up.
