How To Keep A Job, part one

Question 1:

One day Ed Blakeslee found he had been terminated due to "business retrenching." While searching for work, Ed told his interviewer he had been let go due to retrenching, "What do you think about that?" Ed asked. How did the potential employer respond?

	That sucks			I think it's a pretty normal situation

	Damn illegals

Question 2:

Ed was venting about his being let go. "I didn't do anything! Why me?"
Interviewer: "You said that in 18 months you hadn't gotten anywhere...how much warning did you need, couldn't you see________"

	The company valued the other fellas services above yours			One word- automation

	You were being outsourced

Question 3:

The interviewer related a story about Bob and Walter who worked in their shipping dept. Bob was what we would call "an eager beaver," but Walter, Bob's twin brother was more like? (paraphrased)

	A caffeinated jackrabbit haphazardly jumping on each and every opportunity to find work, and screw it up			A lazy sloth

	A disgusting piece of human trash swimming in a sea of vomit, who was just as revolting in his wretched work habits
