You'Re Fired

I'm sorry to have to tell you, but we're laying you off, effective immediately. But, please don't feel too badly about this. It's nothing personal. It feels personal, maybe because I'm the person you're downsizing without. But it's not personal; it's just a budget problem-- insufficient revenue. Which I am being invited to resolve in an exclusively personal kind of way. I can see why you prefer to keep the personal separate from political, and political power and authority and responsibility separate from economic choices, and economic goals separate from ecological health, yet I find little wisdom in these dichotomies, too conveniently walled off away from each other. I'm sorry you feel that way. I'm not. I've worked hard to see EarthTribe this global patriotic-matriotic way. There is no hidden agenda here. No disparagement of your performance, or character. This is not personal or political; it's just a financial necessity for you to pack up your personal items, if any, and head out the front door with your head up, personally and politically, but not economically. Not here and not today anyway. See, I told you it's personal, and political. Point taken. Goodbye. Don't let the door hit you... On my way out. Yes, I know. Thanks for nothing. Why are you choosing to be bitter about a loss not intended as punishment? Why does this overshadow all the years your political and economic relationships worked cooperatively together here? Frankly? By all means. I think our cooperative corporate personhood's political and economic returns would be better served if this economic knife were at your throat, rather than mine. Now see, that's why I'm letting you go. Never trusted you. So this is both personal and political, as well as economic, all to better serve your egocentric ZeroZone. Not so much about what's best for our cooperatively-owned corporate personhood. I don't see the difference. And that is among your outstanding issues. You don't see enough difference between your egocentric and Earth's eco-centric balance, yet you build walls too deep and wide and high between what is personally healthy v pathological an what is politically healthy and what remains of economically cooperative investment in Big Picture ecological health care giving and receiving of and for WinWin ecopolitical healthy wealth optimization. Are you still talking? Yes, still talking about our cooperative business planning incapacities, but, unlike some people, I can talk with both sides of my mouth and walk in the same direction at the same time. As long as your direction is cooperatively out the front door, the way you first came in. Actually, I first came in through the back door closet. Your front door was accessible to straight white males only. Oh, right. The good ole boys days.
