Four Schwabbies get into a car. The car won’t start.

Director: We should reduce headcount.

Manager: It just needs a coaching memo.

HR: Have you tried asking it to start?

NSD: Let's all get out of the car and get back in.

A low level employee suggested that the leadership team turn the key that is in the ignition. That employee has been terminated for insubordination. We should just lay off a few hundred people until a solution is found.

Product Owner: We've decided to switch cars. I know everyone's used to a left-hand-drive automatic, but we're importing a new model that's far more cost effective. There's no insurance premiums, but it's right-hand-drive and the transmission's manual. Who's the vendor? Yugo.

We'll be taking the tires off the wheels of the existing car by EOY, do you think you can get them onto our new vehicle before then?
