Here's something a person I know that's a small business owner had posted on the bulletin board for his employees to read.
As of November 5, 2008, when President Obama officially becomes president-elect, our company will instill a few new policies which are in keeping with his new, inspiring issues of change and fairness:
1. All salespeople will be pooling their sales and bonuses into a common pool that will be divided equally between all of you. This will serve to give those of you who are under-achieving a "fair shake".
2. All low level workers will be pooling their wages, including overtime, into a common pool, dividing it equally amongst you. This will help those who are "too busy for overtime" to reap the rewards from those who have more spare time and can work extra hours.
3. All top management will now be referred to as "the government." We will not participate in this "pooling" experience because the law doesn't apply to us.
4. The "government" will give eloquent speeches to all employees every week, encouraging its workers to continue to work hard "for the good of all".
5. The employees will be thrilled with these new policies because it's "good to spread the wealth around". Those of you who have underachieved will finally get an opportunity; those of you who have worked hard and had success will feel more "patriotic".
6. The last few people who were hired should clean out their desks. Don't feel bad, though, because President Obama will give you free healthcare, free handouts, free oil for heating your home, free food stamps, and he'll let you stay in your home for as long as you want even if you can't pay your mortgage. If you appeal directly to our democratic congress, you might even get a free flat screen TV and a coupon for free haircuts (shouldn't all Americans be entitled to nice looking hair?)!!!
If for any reason you are not happy with the new policies, you may want to rethink your vote on November 4th.
So your friend is an idiot, has bought into the fear mongering, doesn't understand the future economic plan and is now trying to scare his employees into voting for his beliefs.
And you admit to knowing someone like this?
What kind of company is this and how come he hasn't been reported to authorities yet?

Did you post this as satire, or do you actualy believe it. if you actually believe, man are you an idiot...if it's satire, good job. Think carefully before you respond...

If a business owner did that then he could find himself in deep shit. Pressuring employees to vote a certain way is not a good thing.

First of all, this isn't a friend of mine. If you had read it more carefully I said it was from someone I knew. That doesn't make him a friend. He's in the hardware business. And I don't have a clue as to whether or not it was reported.
Moreover, thanks for the insults. Just goes to show how people would rather sling hate at others than to try and be cordial about something.
May you have the life you deserve to have.

I would imagine that if McCain wins, that memo would look something like this. :taunt:
As of November 5, 2008, when President McCain officially becomes president-elect, our company will instill a few new policies which are in keeping with his new, inspiring issues of more of the same:
1. All salespeople will work off of a different commission schedule. Less effective salespeople will now get smaller commission percentages than top salespeople. The amount of work you do will no longer matter. Get up or get out!
2. All low level workers will continue to work for minimum wage. If you need more money, work overtime. Those of you who are “too busy because you have to watch the kids while your wife goes to her job”, tough shit.
3. All top management will now be referred to as "executives." We will participate in "seminars" and “training” at some of the most exclusive hotels and country clubs in the country. We are the ones who create the jobs. We deserve it.
4. The "executives" will give eloquent speeches to all employees every week, encouraging its workers to continue to work hard "for the good of all".
5. The employees will be thrilled with these new policies because "you have a freakin job". Those of you who have worked to build this company will finally get an opportunity to continue to work harder and feel more "patriotic".
6. The last few people who were hired should clean out their desks. Don't ask for free healthcare, free handouts, free oil for heating your home, free food stamps, or if we will let you stay in your home for as long as you want even if you can't pay your mortgage. Quit your fucking whining and go out and find another job. We gave our 10% to the church.
If for any reason you are not happy with the new policies, you may want to rethink your vote on November 4th.

Yes, becaues so far right has been such a wonderful thing...you people amaze me with your stupidity. The neo-con movement has DESTROYED this country. It is the single driving factor in pretty much every bad thing that has happened to it. The same people are again behind the bankign scandals. and you still support them...

They cannot begin a twelve step program until they recognize that they have a problem. How many times must they be whacked upside the head before they realize who is whacking them? I just find it amazing that, with the current economic situation, they want to continue to support people with the same policies that got us into the situation to begin with. Well.....I guess stupidity does sum it up pretty good. :thumbsup:

All of the politicians make their money somehow. They are all in it to make a buck dude. Get that through your thick skull. THese guys are going to pilfer money from us. Ohhhhhh, Obama is the first politican ever to get some from some kidn of legislation. I would rather have a Clinton that gets a blowjob, and gets some money rather than a Bush that fucks the country in the ass and gets some money.

Think carefully before you respond...This is a pretty fair assessment of an Obama administrations policies, scaled down of course,
so the less intelligent democrats can understand what it is their actually going to get under Obama.
It's accurately informing them that the under acheivers and less motivated{Lazy}will be the only ones to benefit.
