Important Layoff Information

Jeffery sent the following email to Time Warner Cable employees earlier today. Greetings fellow Time Warner Cablers! It is with a heavy heart that I must announce that due to an unfortunate string of events, we must lay off 11% of our workforce. It all began years ago, when our company invested in a small pickle factory in the hopes that we could create a marketable pickle-juice beverage. After years of research, we were able to launch the beverage to much fanfare and success. However, there were some unforeseen consequences. It turns out that the pickle juice was so popular that the entire pickle factory was wiped out in under three weeks. And since the factory was the only source of supply for the beverage, the entire product line was discontinued. Unfortunately, this meant that the company had to cut back on hiring, leading to the layoffs today. I know this may seem unfair, as I personally bear some of the blame. However, I assure you that I am doing my best to make sure that all affected employees are taken care of and that the company will be in a better position in the near future. Thank you for your understanding, Jeffery Da Pickle
