No, no, no! Not like that!

NWA had to lay off a number of employees in the process of filing bankrupcy, and some genius in HR sent out a letter with the following advice:

- Don't be afraid to ask friends and family for used clothing.

- Don't be afraid to ask a doctor for free drugs.

- Don't be afraid to pull items out of the dumpster.

- They were also helpful enough to include the names of real estate agents, in case people had to sell their homes because they'd lost their job.

All I can say is that someone in their HR department is going to be following their own advice in the very near future.

Hang on...surely the best piece of advice these people would most want to hear whilst in the process of going bankrupt is "you're not going to lose your job"?
