A local office drone is in shock after being made redundant despite assurances from management that Covid-19 would not lead to job cuts.
James Broad, who worked for the company for 15 years without ever once being late or taking a sick day, even that time he broke his leg, had believed that his unblemished record and management promises would see him through.
“I’m shocked,” he stated, as he packed up his four employee of the month awards and novelty desk calendar. “You see others come and go, but never expect it to be you.”
Broad, who believed in Santa Claus and The Easter Bunny until he was 22, was renowned within his department for swallowing any old bollox at face value.
“We all knew the cuts were coming, except for James,” said one former colleague. “He’s an awful eejit. The poor gobshite.”
Broad has written to the company’s CEO, outlining his impeccable attendance record and wondering how a man in his position of power could be so openly dishonest.
The CEO was not available for comment, but sources indicate that he has tasked a faceless minion to write a form reply to Broad, enclosing a 10 euro gift voucher as a one-time courtesy.
