Judy: We tried to warn you.
Hints. Bigger hints.
Company-wide e-mails that were in fact directed only at you.
We even paid for one of those aggressively large blimps
To fly over your house for a week.
But unfortunately, it's come to this.
You're...Fired.
Fired? You can't be serious!
I've given my nuts to this company,
Literally.
It's a long story.
Does loyalty count for nothing?
For years, we had to show you how to use the copier.
Now we have to remind you not to use it
Because we're a green company.
You take forever to complete a task,
Then need an assistant to transcribe it from carbon paper.
But mostly... It's the ass grabbing.
It's a new day at sebben & sebben
Where asses can be lightly fantasized about
But no longer grabbed.
This is the hardest thing I have ever had to do,
But we both know it's time.

Ceos need to be able to fire people.
It was your father's favorite part of the job.
But I don't see sebben & sebben as a company.
That's a good sign. I see it as a steward.
We give thousands of employees a reason
To get up in the morning,
Or at least tire them out so they don't have the energy
To get swept up in global conspiracy theories.
Wah, wah, bullshit.
I'm serious. You can't swing a cat
Without hitting an employee that needs to get shit-canned.
We're not in preschool. This isn't a play date.
You and I aren't wearing performance tights,
Grabbing iced-blendeds,
Flirting with the barista with the nose hoop
Then racing to pick up our fourth grader.
We need you to a real-life fire someone.
Can you do it?
Sure... Who?
Someone who has spent most of their billable hours
Chinwagging in the break room.
I had no idea it did that.
You can't see both ways, right?
You got to fire her.
Jessica from accounting.
Yeah, I can't fire her.
Give me one good reason.
Lots of reasons, including but not limited to
She's the office candy person.
Her Thursday candy dish is legendary.
She never forgets a birthday. She cares about birthdays.
Did I mention the candy thing?
It's the only reason some people come out of their cubes.
You are totally ball-less, and I know where of I speak.
Again, long story.
Rip the band-aid-brand adhesive off, judy.

Band-aids in the first aid kit!
