Curse you, curly quotes! Sorry for the gibberish._______________
True Story (even if it's a bit late): In the final days of a well-known accounting firm, with 99.9% of the workforce facing layoffs, a partner on a conference call with a remote group of staff and middle managers said, "Maybe you'll have to hold off on buying a new boat or summer home, this year…"
Marie Antoinette may have suggested that the starving peasants eat cake simply because she didn't know any better.

Managers can be detached from reality. I remember an Indian guy who was fired, and the managers told him something like "hey, take it easy! you can always take a year off and relax in a beach resort. Then you could start to work as a contractor or start a new business".The Indian guy just stared at them, completely shocked, and said "I bet you guys didn't have the slightest notion that I will lose my work permit and will be deported within a couple of weeks".
At the point, the look on the managers' face finally synchronized with his.
