Karma in the workplace
My company laid off 23 people a few weeks ago. One of them was an employee who just didn't get along well with his difficult manager. Manager got rid of him.

That employee was subsequently hired by a customer. The former manager now has to deal with his former employee as a customer, and now he has to work as hard as he can to please him.

:rofl:

6. The moral lesson of the level:
"The Level demonstrates that we are descended from the same stock, partake of the same nature, and share the same hope; and though distinctions among men are necessary to preserve subordination, yet no eminence of station should make us forget that we are brethren; for he who is placed on the lowest spoke of fortune's wheel, may be entitled to our regard; because a time will come, and the wisest know not how soon, when all distinction, but that of goodness, shall cease; and Death, the grand leveler of human greatness, reduce us to the same state."

Karma, by any other name...

Best regards and good fortune to the other 22 employees.
