      You don’t understand what it’s like for them. They don’t like sacking people for bonuses but they just can’t come up with any other ways to increase profit. What are they supposed to do? Get creative? Build a strong respectful work culture? Not take a bonus? You see. It’s not as easy as you think. Timmy can miss out on his toy train this Christmas. Besides, it’s just business

        When little Timmy got a train
        "twas put beneath a tree
        Christmas day had fin’lly come,
        Such fun for all to see

        The poor were done, they knew no fun All stolen by some jerk(s)
        Their patience done, their time had come
        And quickly went to work

        Timmy’s dad had been quite bad
        He stole, and cheated and lied
        When they burned the system down,
        Little Timmy fucking died.

        Added context: “Little Timmy” is 35, has a cushy VP job in his dad’s company, and is lined up to be the next ceo. It was his suggestion to cut 50,000 jobs so he could collect a finders fee for “finding” unnecessary expenses.
