how to kill employee morale quickly - tell them if things so beyond their control (taxes) go up at all on the boss, they lose their jobs.
If this were written at a company for real, imagine the instant morale mess that would occur - it would be business suicide.
He's starting with the ones who had Obama stickers on their cars.

Agreed. Also the part about the employees punching in physically at 9 and mentally at noon. No intelligent employer would insult his employees and destroy morale like that and continue to have a successful business. But the overall message itself is pretty good.
You consider it business suicide - I consider it the truth. As a business owner, I agree 100%. And by the way, if you worked (and I used the past tense for a reason) for me and had an Obama bumper sticker on your car, good luck finding another job after I fired your ass on Wed. morning after the election...........Happy New Year - Red
Should have sent it out before the election. Then again Obama supporters were either too hardheaded or stupid to read.
True - but it still reflects how a lot of people are feeling in this country right now.
“how to kill employee morale quickly”
This e-mail may be humor but it is the truth. If your employees can’t handle the truth then they should get in line at the welfare office.
You sound like present day schools where we don’t want to harm their poor little precious self esteem. To hell with morale. You might want to look up the definition of morale. It is defined as confidence in your leadership.
It was probably written, for real or not, before the election to try to bring home how Obama's "change" will mean lost jobs.
I agree.
I think that was the point, if you read the whole thing. Business suicide. He said, if taxes were raised, he’d sell the business and move out of the country and retire—thus everyone’s out of work. Except, he’s got money and they’ve got nothing. Sounds pretty smart to me.
My brother-in-law owns a business. He plans to let go the Obama supporters first. And yes, even if they are hard-working, good contributors to the company. A decision has to be made, and that’s the best reason, in my opinion, to choose one person over another. It would be better to keep a slouch that voted for McCain, or better yet, didn’t vote at all, than to keep someone who helped contribute to my company’s demise. And, who knows? Maybe that hard-working Obamabot employee who is all smiles is stealing from you—if he voted for Obama, he thinks it’s morally okay to steal from the rich. I say, cut ‘em all off. That should be the new criteria for all business owners when making lay-off decisions...Who did they vote for? Give them their Obama hope and change. In an unemployment line.
Before we opened a business I might have agreed with you. Now, I have to respectfully disagree.
It’s time for people to really understand that actions have consequences. As a country, we’ve spent years shielding people from this elementary knowledge. For me, the gloves are off.
If, as an employee, you choose to cast your vote for a nominee that boldly says he will raise your employer’s taxes, you’d better be prepared for the consequences.
