A difficult decision

Commander sent the following email to Comcast employees earlier today. Hey there Fella-casters! It's with a heavy heart that I have to break the news to you that, due to the effects of recent cold weather, we are having to make the regrettable decision to let go of 15% of our staff. Whilst I take full accountability for this difficult decision, this is a necessary step to ensure the survival of our company through these trying times. Weather forecasts don't always turn out to be correct and in this case the winter chill turned out to be a lot worse than the predictions. You see, the frozen air affected our flow of power, resulting in a 15% reduction in the energy used to keep our office - and the computers running - warm. That, coupled with the cost of turning up the thermostat, meant that cutting back on staff was our only option. Though it pains me to make this decision, I believe it is the right one for the future of our company. I am deeply sorry to all those affected, and I thank you for the hard work you have put in. All the best, Commander Cold-cut
