An Unfortunate Situation

Jeff-Freeze-Us sent the following email to Amazon employees earlier today. Dear Amazonians, It is with great regret that I must announce that 10% of our workforce must be laid off. It has been an incredibly difficult decision to make, but I take full responsibility and would like to explain the reason behind it. As some of you may know, we recently made a sponsorship deal with the legendary actor Sean Connery. We thought this was a great opportunity to draw attention to our company, but little did we know it would lead to this unfortunate situation. We had worked out a great deal with Mr. Connery and paid him a large sum of money, yet in return he made a foolish decision which has now caused us to financially struggle. He decided to go on a luxurious world tour and insisted that he stay in only the finest 5 star hotels. The money and resources this cost us were too great and so we now find ourselves with no choice but to lay off a percentage of our staff. I understand the pain this will cause for the individuals and their families. I take full accountability for what has happened and we are doing our best to ensure those affected will be taken care of during this transition. Sincerely, Jeff-Freeze-Us
