“If they take my stapler, I’ll have to, I’ll set the building on fire.”

Or they could greet folks at Walmart, assuming the greeters are still around.

Blocking access and search indexing of more conservatives will help the bottom line, right?

Well ok, maybe it won’t do anything for the bottom line, but it’ll make the people who still have jobs feel better about themselves.

The company is to cut back on food, fitness, massage, and transportation programs which were all introduced when workers were coming into offices five days a week.

In other words, they want employees to actually work and not get a massage or work out on company time. The horror!!!!

I can’t imagine there being such a huge need for a stapler at a company like Google. Given that they are likely Green driven, printing on paper seems outdated for them. Even still, how much money would be saved by eliminating staplers and staples?!

Google laid off 27 massage therapists! Not joking.

Didn’t see anything about the high-end chefs they used to boast about. I wonder how they’ll make out.

Yeah but think how it would feel to be looking around the place for the last time as you're being escorted out the door by security, and you have to see your former fellow workers happily stapling away in their cubicles, sporting contented, satisfying smiles as they do so.

The memory would be seared... seared... into your brain.

All the signs point to a crash. Possibly a hot war, too.

Have your seats in the upright position, trays stowed and be well stocked in food, water & ammo; it’s gonna be rough.

It’s bad enough they never seem like they like their jobs whenever I go there, but now they’ll be downright surly, if they even show up for work.

[All the signs point to a crash. Possibly a hot war, too.]

That’s what I’ve been wondering, too. On both scenarios.
