We just saw on Monday that the Super Bowl on Sunday was the highest rated show ever and today they are laying off the folks that helped them get there! You cannot make this up.

I love this particular comment by Dani_Knope on Twitter/X

When things go bad, they fire people. When they go well, people should get bonuses or wage increases. Instead they get fired and the company pockets bonuses and gives raises to folks like the CEO. But on the news, “record low unemployment (because 6 mo DQ) and 5% wage increases”?
