Business was terrible and not picking up.  I had to fire somebody,  and I narrowed it down to one of two people, Debra or Jack.

It was an impossible decision because they were both super workers.

Rather than flip a coin, I decided I would fire the first one who used the water cooler the next morning.

Debra came in the next morning with a horrible hangover after partying all night.  She went to the cooler to take an aspirin.

I approached her and said, "Debra, I've never done this before but I have to either lay you or Jack off."

"Could you jack off for now?" she says. "I feel like sh!t. If you can wait, I'll do you at lunchtime."

........

I had to let Jack go.

 

Bosses have to make the tough decisions.
