fun stuff but it's usually/often how it 'seems' to work.
BUT, the reason it caught my eye is that I immediately figured dave is digging a hole to bury red shirt guy in, cuz we know he's gonna die soon.

Oh yeah, this used to happen ALL the time in the 1990s. Many corporate offices (it seems to me) have fewer "non-working" positions, but there are more senior administrative positions. Like, now you have the CIO and CISO, both positions that never really existed ~20 years ago.
But yeah, in every company where this ends up happening, the company always ends up going bankrupt or bought out anyway, and they end up having to re-hire the actual worker positions (e.g. in my case, the programmers) and they fire all the middle-managers. It always seems to be a temporary reprieve for these mid-level managers when they fire the workers.
I worked for one company, I'll never forget... we had a layoff in Florida, they laid off almost 50 programmers, and left only three of us. I was one of the three. I was the youngest one at the company, and programmed in the newer languages, as well as the older language. They also kept my boss, and the senior most programmer. All the other programmers were fired... (like ~48 of them). At the end of the firings, the corporate office called the HR person who'd just laid off all the programmers, and then laid him off too over the phone. The dude was so pissed, he did a massive burn-out in the parking lot with his 1998 Firebird Formula. Hahah...

Every single one of us is white, including the women. I am half Hispanic, but that doesn't make me not-white. Most Argentines are of European / Spanish descent, not Native American or African descent.
You're probably one of those people who thinks that Hispanic means "Mexican."

I was in a grocery store a few years ago looking for a particular sauce, Maggi Jugo Sazonador. They had other varieties of Maggi, but not the "Jugo". When I asked the clerk if they might have the Mexican flavor, he looked at me like I had just said a dirty word and told me, "We don't stock the Hispanic flavor". I wanted to tell him I wasn't looking for Spanish sauce, but since I was in the "Hispanic" food isle, which is filled with tortillas and chiles, I decided to walk away quietly.

Minority has nothing to do with White, so try to get educated. Women are minorities as are half Hispanics and Vietnam era vets.
So, were the other two any of the protected classes as well? I'm just curious.

Many years ago... MANY years ago, I used to hang out with my buddies at a restaurant called "Anita's Mexican Restaurant" in Vienna, Virginia.
It wasn't until decades later that I made my way to Arizona and ended up at a restaurant that was serving "New Mexican" food.
Williegoat... don't even know where to go with this. I was in love. I developed a new love of eating. When I moved to Texas, I searched everywhere for "New Mexican" restaurants. I realized too that Anita's Mexican Restaurant, was actually Anita's New Mexican Restaurant.
It's similar to Mexican food, but feels less "heavy." It's hotter, both green and red chilis, but also the use of honey and many more organic ingredients. I'm going to search for one now.[This message has been edited by 82-T/A [At Work] (edited 10-10-2021).]

New Mexico cuisine is very good, lots of creative moles, but the only place to really experience it is in northern New Mexico, Santa Fe area.
Many don't realize that Mexican cuisine varies as much as American cuisine. Oaxaca, Vera Cruz and Mexico City are as different as Boston, Louisiana and Kansas City.
Back in the '70s, I ordered steak and eggs at a restaurant in Sinaloa (it was on the menu). The waiter told me "First I must find a cow." About 45 minutes later, I realized he was not kidding.[This message has been edited by williegoat (edited 10-10-2021).]
