Unskilled Man Fears He Will Lose Job in Recession
WASHINGTON (The Borowitz Report)—A man with no identifiable skills is deeply worried that a recession could cause him to lose his job, people close to the man have confirmed.
The man, who has barely clung to his job for the past two and a half years, is justified in believing that an economic downturn would result in his unemployment, experts said.
"When the economy is good, it's possible for someone like him to hold down a job for which he is woefully unqualified," Harland Dorrinson, a human-resources specialist, said. "But when the economy goes south, look out."
Dorrinson said that the unskilled man's résumé, which lists six bankruptcies and multiple business failures, could come under scrutiny in the event of a recession.
"His employers might find themselves asking, 'How did he get this job in the first place?' " Dorrinson said.
Additionally, the man's near-total lack of education—evidenced by his inability to spell common one-syllable words or to identify the century in which the airplane was invented—could make him vulnerable to termination, the human-resources expert said.
"On the plus side, he enjoys watching television for eight hours a day," Dorrinson said. "During a recession, he'll be able to do even more of that."
