THE COMPANY IS ANNOUNCING GENEROUS BUYOUT PACKAGES FOR EMPLOYEES WHO ELECT TO LEAVE.

WON'T ALL OF THE SMART PEOPLE LEAVE FIRST BECAUSE THEY CAN EASILY GET NEW JOBS AT HIGHER PAY?

UMMM. .

IF YOU DONT GET ENOUGH VOLUNTEERS, WILL YOU START FIRING PEOPLE?

WE HAVE NO PLAN TO DO THAT.

WILL YOU MAKE A PLAN IF TOO FEW PEOPLE LEAVE?

OH, YES.

WOULD IT BE FAIR TO SAY THE PEOPLE WHO STAY WILL ENVY THE DEAD?

UM.

ONE WEEK LATER HOW MANY TOOK THE OFFER?

IT'S JUST YOU NOW.
