    Do You LIKE working here, Jones?

    Thuggishness and incompetence are not mutually exclusive.

    Actually, they're mutually dependent.

    You see, Jones, the Company is always right. Anyone who points out the Company is wrong is Wrong. You know what happens to people who are Wrong, don't you, Jones? We don't need Wrong people in the Company, Jones. We need Right people--people who recognize that the Company is always right.

    I'd hate to think you were the wrong sort of people for the Company, Jones. That would be very bad, for the Company--and for you.

    So, come back to work--and life, Jones. Out west the aspens will be shaking in their roots--because even the aspens, Jones, know that the Company is Always Right. Don't let the aspens be smarter than you, Jones.

    That's all--thank you for coming in to see me with your concerns. Goodbye, Jones. Give my best to Lilly.
