This is the weirdest wording for layoffs I've ever seen. Makes it seem like some sort of data error in the db they are fixing
Bob Slydell : So we just went ahead and fixed the glitch.
Bill Lumbergh : Great.
Dom Portwood : So, uh, Milton has been let go?
Bob Slydell : Well, just a second there, professor. We, uh, we fixed the glitch. So he won't be receiving a paycheck anymore, so it'll just work itself out naturally.
Bob Porter : We always like to avoid confrontation, whenever possible. Problem is solved from your end.
Now I laugh to keep from crying because I realize it's a documentary.
Works out great for milton though.
Sounds like people still don’t listen to him, poor Milton.
It's amazing to see the contrast between Milton and his other characters.
You generally can’t sue your employer for being an unfair asshole.
Even if doing this would result in a lawsuit against the company, it's unlikely to impact those middle-managers personally.
Which is a key takeaway from the movie, it consistently shows apathy at every level.
... or bricks in the wall.
