bit of an uproar in the commissary today! taking a moment to address this here, now this is really an internal announcement, but in the name of corporate transparency, winky shock will put this on the public record. apparently someone got the idea that there would be layoffs around here, and once word like that gets out, there's no putting it back in, it seems. there are no immediate plans for layoffs. we've carefully studied the staffing decisions made by thomasville furniture and though upon initial viewing, it seemed as though our business models were similar enough that what was good for the proverbial gander was good for its proverbial counterpart, winky shock is no goose. everyone may rest assured that their contributions as employees - team members, rather - are valued. it's the work of everyone working together that makes it all work. remember, there's no "i" in "team" and there's no bs in ws. well, there's an "s" in each, but it's different. shock. winky shock.
