To Prevent a Disaster

A deal-killer was needed to prevent a disaster, the service company couldn't exist anymore if the president hadn't taken a lower bid; it had relied on the work force for over twenty years, and it could have hurt the employees who needed an increase, rather than the employer who had a constant cash flow. They had to make a choice...accept and sign the new contract, and stay in business for another five years, or more; from the looks on everybody's face, it didn't sound pleasant, but who would have chosen the unemployment line? The employer felt terribly for the bad deal-killer, but also a relief saving thousands of jobs around Christmastime. To compensate the workers for their loyalty, the employer offered them a monthly bonus and open overtime for everybody willing to work hard, so that deal-killer proved to be extremely beneficial... coming at a time when extra cash could have brought more gifts that they couldn't afford in the first place, had the deal-killer been denied... and they wouldn't have wished one another, " Happy Holidays!
