Here's another memo to all you Corporate Executives out there who are reading this here blog:

If you're company just laid off a bunch of people and positions that are open and need to be filled but won't and you just had a huge meeting in which the directive came down that costs need to be cut thus forcing a whole bunch of people to hand in their company cell phones- don't go out and buy yourself a race car. Not only that, do not buy yourself a race car and then send out a directive to the marketing department, already reeling from not only the loss of several positions but the lack of a raise over the past several years, that they have to go out and promote the thing, all with the emphasis being on you, the head of the Company, taking over the car and what a wonderful thing it is. And please, please, do not turn it into some big huge ceremony in the parking lot of the office and then invite everyone in the office to attend the big event via to the company-wide news group.

Oh, and it might not be such a good idea to then later announce that they need to shut down the entire back parking lot, a parking lot in which most of the employee's actually park their car, for the ceremony.

The reason why I'm saying this is that some employees might get a little upset. In fact, some employees might curse you out behind your back, using words like "jack ass," "cock sucker," and "crazy, evil meglomaniac."
