During a crisis gaps widen

and fortunes get made.

Especially when

you've feathered your nest.

Here's how things stand.

The "leak" about the layoffs

had positive results.

The government didn't react.

The staff trusts the CEO.

The market?

After the leak,

the shares rose by 5.9%.

Despite our denial.

This is my idea for massive layoffs.

1 :
The social plan

isn't a management ploy.

That's old hat.

The problem is getting it across.

We must hit hard

and with surgical accuracy.

We put out a press release stating

"staff adjustments",

"competitiveness",

"the future of our business"...

she treats our social bloodbath

like it's golf.

And above all...

Claude.

About the social plan, you're fired.

Out!

Right away!

...we announce a social plan

by another group,

and keep at it.

Thanks, Claude.

10 minutes pause.

Hello, Mr. Tourneuil.

One piece of news.

They didn't Iie about Zombard.

He's a crook, with a laundered billion.

Bye.

Zombard!

He's with the Crdit Gnral.

He was.

This is an evaluation...

Everyone wants to interview you.

sir. Isidore Sartre. on the line.

He insisted.

I'm listening, Mr. Sartre.

May I know why I've been fired?

In your local questionnaires

you're called a dictator.

I get results.

If I'm not harsh. they idle.

A suicide at Phenix

would cause a market debacle.

Nobody's committed suicide.

It mustn't happen.

You're fired for misconduct.

Or resign.

What misconduct?

A hated leader is a bad leader.

That's misconduct.

I apply company policies.

That's over.

Your staff hate you.

You've lost my trust.

- Resign!

- I have the 2nd best results...

Why did he reach me?

He called all morning...

What did you expect?

The self-assessment

created hope, but that too.

Matthew, you were saying?

We can go to 7 or 8%.

That's less than 8,000 layoffs.

At least 10%.

Marc, that's bloodletting.

It'll create a revolt.

The directors are outraged.

Because we're seeing

their shortcomings.

I want to discuss

my transfer to New York.

Your self-assessment

made us a laughingstock!

We're being verbally abused.

Hundred times a day.

This is harassment.

We can't go on.

Enough, Raphael!

You agree with us.

If this goes on, we'd rather resign.

I accept your resignations.

Marc, you can't be serious.

I'm very serious.

You won't be missed.

That'll be all.

Gentlemen, you may go.

Listen, they're your finest...

Raphael, it's not negotiable.

When the firing's done.

we'll discuss New York.

Hello, sir.

- They sent Madame's dress?

- Yes, sir.

Dior sent that?

I won't wear a 22.000 Euro dress.

It's obscene.

Not after your Maoist revolution.

They told you the price?

I asked. So what?
