    – It was nice though.
    – Thanks.
    – Who are you?
    – Alisha. I started last week.
    – Oh! Glenn, why don’t you just tell everybody who’s getting laid off.
    – Yeah, we want to know now.

    – Look, Glenn, if you really care about these people, then don’t make them wait all day without knowing. Just rip off the Band-Aid.
