Open source transcript

I HAVE THE RESULTS OF THE EMPLOYEE MORALE SURVEY.

THE NUMBER ONE ISSUE IS "NOT ENOUGH OPEN AND HONEST COMMUNICATION FROM MANAGEMENT." WELL, OKAY, I'M WILLING TO GIVE THAT A TRY.

MANAGEMENT IS LOOTING THE COMPANY WHILE HIDING THE FACT THAT WE'RE IN A DEATH SPIRAL.

WHENEVER YOU TALK, I THINK ABOUT MY FISHING LURES UNTIL THE NOISE STOPS.

WHEN I SEE AN EMPLOYEE SUFFER, IT EXCITES ME IN WAYS I DON'T UNDERSTAND.

ON NINE SEPARATE OCCASIONS IVE FIRED BALD GUYS BECAUSE I THOUGHT THEY WERE YOU.

IF THIS DOESN'T WORK FOR YOU, LET ME KNOW ON THE NEXT EMPLOYEE MORALE SURVEY.
