You've been fired - but don't worry. We can make the newspaper bigger now.

Hm, let's think this through. Presumably, they don't mean "bigger" as in "more staff". They mean bigger as in more pages. To be produced with fewer editorial staffers, since they've just axed a bunch.

And yet management believe this masterpiece of communication will improve morale?

And let's not even bother to ask whether the top brass will be getting their bonuses this year. (Probably they'll get extra, for achieving substantial cost savings.) Or whether shareholders can expect a dividend.
