Confidential Memorandum
To: Division Head, Ovaries
From: Encinitas, CEO
Re: Ovulation
As I am sure you are aware, the economy is experiencing uncertain times. This corporation must balance the twin market forces of supply and demand. Accounting has informed me that in the current economic climate the supply of eggs has far outstripped local demand. Therefore, in a cost and energy saving move, I am directing you to cease all egg production immediately. I am appointing a blue ribbon panel to suggest ways we might repurpose your division’s energies but you should be aware that layoffs are likely.
Your immediate attention to this directive is appreciated.
