He Just Called To Say I'm Firing You

As we're now one year on from what is commonly regarded as the start of the credit crunch, we thought we'd send out another little ditty. This song should be sung to the tune of Stevie Wonder's 'I Just Called To Say I Love You':

'No bonus day
to celebrate
No second chance to work real hard and stay
No early-mornings in
No workouts in the gym 
As this was just no ordinary day

No security pass
No taxi home
No more nights working late alone
But what it is
I couldn't believe it was true
As these three words came right out of the blue

He just called to say I'm firing you
He just called to say I'm letting you go
He just called to say I'm firing you
And believe me this is really just the start 

No annual review
No 360 feedback
No time to get my career on the right track
No more office romance
No Christmas dance
Not even time to gather up my gear
No stock option pay
No 15-hour work day
No gossiping by the staff vending machine
but what it is
I couldn't believe it was true
As these three words came right out of the blue

He just called to say I'm firing you
He just called to say I'm letting you go
He just called to say I'm firing you
And believe me this is really just the start 

He just called to say I'm firing you
He just called to say I'm letting you go
He just called to say I'm firing you
And believe me this is really just the start 

This is the start
Just the start'
