Have you seen some of the unemployed folk that the media interviews for ratings? These are those that have been unduly punished (they would have you believe) by getting sacked from Corporations that had to do some house cleaning.
What with reduced GDP and all there are a number of companies unwilling to carry dead weight. Hence the reduction in force. Now when these so called folks are on camera talking about how they are sending their kids to the local shelter for blankets and warm bed, or to the food bank to eke out what they can for nourishment, they tend to be dressed better than me. They even appear to have spent some quality time with a make up salon getting a new do or look to appear as the Next Super Model on national TV.
These are moms talking about making sacrifices and making sure their children have good food (that only the food bank or local charity can dole out) - very noble - while sitting pretty (as in with manicured nails and eyebrows Posh Spice would vie for) at the local cafe slurping down a Joe (which if they had any sense would be easy enough to crank out on a coffee pot at home for pennies) - unless they sold their coffee pot to make ends meet.
Then switch scene to the sidewalk where the stereotype of a laid off worker is seen hauling a couple of bankers boxes away. I say - what is with these boxes? Did they just go grocery shopping? I mean if the writing is on the wall what could possibly be that valuable that these folks need to carry out of their offices on their last working day?
Did they get an early Christmas box? I have always wondered.
