Toy with people's lives with the Layoff Game!

Published:  Mar 23, 2009

Remember the helpless feeling that rushed over you as you realized you were being laid off? Have you been seeking the perfect way to passive-aggressively take out your frustrations by toying with other people's lives ever since? Well, search no more, because you can now make all the virtual workplace efficiency adjustments you desire with "LAYOFF," the game!

If you're just looking for an online time-waster, then go ahead and line up the boring gems. But if you want to cackle delightedly to yourself as you lay off 53 year old Wes, a bus driver who has held his job for 16 years (too bad about those shaky vision test results), or 23 year old Kam, a part time cafe worker with dreams of being a poet (good luck with all that), head on over this way. The only drawback -- try as you might, bankers don't lose their jobs in this game.
