Scenes from an enterprise in crisis, # 23

First director: "What are we going to do? Revenue has gone off a cliff...there's no money for our bonuses."
Second director: "We can put prices up in the staff canteen again, that'll get a bit in. Make them pay £1.70 for a pot of revolting apricot goo, custard and crushed biscuit."
First director: "No, that's no good...we've sacked all the staff."

Pan shot to rows of empty desks, cups of still-warm coffee, papers rustling etc, etc, etc. Fade to black.
