Dear Ronny,
As a result of Adobe Systems Incorporated's acquisition of Macromedia, Inc., we regret to inform you that your employment will terminate because we simply don't have a clue as to how to integrate a company your size; therefore, we would rather move on with as few employees as possible to give each of them a vibrant new opportunity to work 70 hours a week, and thus give those of you we're laying off the chance to laugh at our ingenuousness. I mean, ingenuity.
This is an actual quote:
There will be no bumping rights in connection with this reduction in force.
What the hell are "bumping rights"?

Oh, and do take the time you've got all of a sudden, and come visit lovely Austria... I'll pay some of the beer.

Date: 2005-12-05 10:17 pm (UTC)I'm not drunk today mostly because i'm going through my stuff, and i was drunk on Friday and i'm not too keen on repeating the experience. I might just go home and have wine there.
Thanks for the invitation. Were i able to go to Europe this year, i'd go to Germany for the Cup, but i'd try to see if i could make a stop in Wien as well. As it is, though, we have plans to go to Ecuador in September, and that will consume our travel budget.

(I don't watch any sports, accordingly - though I might, as soon as they put a worldcup in chainsmoking and/or beer-drinking up on the teevee).
Oh, and a shame that you rather visit your home-country then the Home-Country of Real Beer! (insert smileys and stuff as appropriate)
