Harrah's Cut 200 from Vegas Corporate Offices

I was reading an article from Casino City Times and wondered what it would look like as excerpts and me reading between the lines...

Harrah's Entertainment eliminated some 200 jobs in its Las Vegas corporate office Friday
Of course, we expected everything to remain the same after getting eaten by corporate raiders.

Jan Jones, Harrah's senior vice president of communications and government relations said the buyout was not the reason for the job reductions.
We were thinking of doing this anyhow; the timing just seemed right. Besides, I still have my job.

"Not only have we given them a pretty good severance package, but we're offering job placement counseling and we're trying to redirect some people to positions at the properties."
Hey, I never got to work for a huge corporation, getting overpaid for shuffling some papers. Why can't I get counseling too?

"We've been growing so fast that we needed to stop, take a breath," Jones said,
Has a corporation ever said, "Stop, we're growing too fast?"


Sources said corporate employees were all informed of the pending layoffs in a letter from Loveman. In the letter, Loveman said the employees being eliminated had contributed greatly to the company's success over the past few years.
NA NA NA NA, HEY HEY HEY, GOODBYE!
