A man seeking staff for a new internet company was doing the same and, although the news of Lehman’s collapse was only a day old, he had already printed a “Wanted For Hire: 7,000 Brothers of Lehman” T-shirt.
“I really want to get into the building and have a good chat with them,” he told me. Didn’t he think he was being a little insensitive? He smiled. Perhaps only a Brit would waste time asking such a question. Yes, he obviously did think that, but frankly so what?
Um, WHAT?!?
That’s a perfect illustration of one of the major flaws in modern society. A guy is offering these newly fired employees not only the idea of laughing off their “crisis”, but offering *the resources to do so*, and he’s thought of as INSENSITIVE?!?
Oh I forgot, people nowadays aren’t supposed to have a sense of humor about anything. Unless it’s Michael Moore hoping hurricane season wipes out the Conservative South. No waitaminit, he wasn’t joking.
