REDUNDANT

A friend of mine this week opted into a redundancy scheme. In spite of it being a legal document, he was the first in the company to sign and return the ‘opt in/consent’ form to personnel, who told him “There’s no first prize”.

He then told the personnel woman, “When I’m made redundant, I’d like one of those very large, oversized cheques that charities and fundraisers have, and I’d like the Chief Executive to present it to me on the front steps outside the office.”
