An OPEN LETTER to … Those Done Dirty …

-

We hear it all the time … ‘round these parts, everyone knows everyone.’

It also means, though, when some employee from somewhere gets canned in the name of nepotism or when a company trims staff for increased profits, we hear about it, and we react to it. It changes our opinion of people and, in the long run, they, and perhaps their business, lose. Those folks have to know that, right?  

You now who you are because we know who you are and what you have done. Sure, these pandemic times are rough, but that’s not why you chose the decision you’ve made. Online, in-person … it has all been quite detailed and descriptive thanks to the extra time we have these days.

And it is all true, isn’t it? Doesn’t really matter on what side of the Ohio River we live either and that is because the waterway fails as a border when it comes to living our lives and hearing about how others choose to live theirs a dirty way.

Sincerely,

The Got-Done Dirty Club
