The moving targets of news
Me: "So, how many employees were laid off when you guys left town?"
PR lady: "We lost 8 percent of our total workforce when that location closed, but we were able to find jobs elsewhere for 39 percent of those laid off."
Me: "Ummm ... what's that in integers? "
PR lady: "We dont' disclose that information."
Me: "OK, well is your company profitable?"
PR Lady: "We grow every year."
Me: "OK, but are you profitable?"
PR Lady: "We service dozens of Fortune 5,000 companies." [yes, that's three zeroes]
Me, giving up: "Thanks for your time."
