No Need for Layoffs if You Pi$$ Off Your Employees and Get Them to Quit

How many IT VPs does it take to screw in a light bulb?
Trick question - first you would need to launch a 3-5 year "Illumination Roadmap" to determine the need with at least three $$$ consultancies... then the result would be to fire everyone and hire new VPs to start over

Seems like a lot of Directors sacrificed their managers in order to survive
