MEATAXE MIKE MILES STRIKES AGAIN: CUTS MORE THAN 2300 JOBS - OVER 20% OFSTAFF

 

MEATAXE MIKE MILES STRIKES AGAIN

CUTS MORE THAN 2300 JOBS - OVER 20% OF STAFF

Ladies and gentlemen, hold onto your hats and grab a pint of ice cream because we have some news that will make you want to scream. HISD Superintendent Meataxe Mike Miles is back at it again with his meataxe, and this time he's not holding back.

During a virtual forum on Thursday, Miles announced that he will be cutting 2,347 jobs from the district's staff. That's right, you heard it correctly, over 20% of the staff will be getting the boot. So much for job security, am I right?

Now, we don't want to jump to conclusions, but we can't help but wonder if Miles has been binge-watching Game of Thrones lately. I mean, he's practically acting like the Night King with his ruthless decisions and icy demeanor. Maybe he's trying to claim the Iron Throne of HISD?

But let's not forget, this is not the first time Miles has gone on a firing spree. In fact, he's practically a pro at it by now. He's like the Michael Jordan of layoffs, always aiming for the highest score.

We can only imagine the chaos that will ensue with this latest round of cuts. Who will take over all the jobs that are being eliminated? Will there be a Hunger Games-style competition to determine who gets to keep their job? Or will everyone just be left to fend for themselves in the wild, wild world of unemployment?

And let's not forget about the students. How will these cuts affect their education? Will they be forced to teach themselves with a stack of textbooks and a pat on the back? Or will they have to resort to using smoke signals to communicate with their teachers?

But in all seriousness, we understand that these cuts are not a laughing matter. People's livelihoods are at stake here, and it's important to remember that behind every job title is a person with a family and bills to pay.

So, Mr. Miles, we implore you to reconsider your decision and find a better solution that doesn't involve chopping off a fifth of your staff. And if you need some inspiration, we suggest watching The Office and taking notes from Michael Scott's management style. Because let's face it, if there's anyone who knows how to run a successful workplace, it's definitely him.
