Sounds good to me

That's not exactly what they said...

If Obama is reelected, taxes go up, profits go down. To maintain profits, some of you bitches have to go. Vote as is best for you

Typical Republicans. Have to threaten people to get what you want. That's two big companies in the last week (that made the news) that have threatened their employees to get what they want

If the people who work there don't like it they should leave. It will be easy to replace 95% of them.

No one made any threats. They stated that if Obama was reflected and his policies are set in place, the company will have to make adjustments which would include layoffs.

The bigger picture ,,

The race currently is called dead even .

so, Koch is saying, our company has a 50/50 shot to succeed , not a place where I'd like to be employed if thats the case .

That doesn't sound like "vote Romney or your going to be laid-off" to you?

Sounds like a threat to me...

You mean them being honest? Or would you prefer them to wait and if Obama is reelected, then just fire people? You know, like Obama wants the defense industry to do

How would they even find out who you voted for?

It's not a threat, it's providing information to employees about how political candidates and the policies they support can have a direct impact on the company these people work for, and their jobs.

That's not what they are saying either. They are saying in order to be successful based upon obamas plan, the company will have to make adjustments, including layoffs. Not that they will ultimately fail.

Obama is the president now, so why aren't they laying people off currently ?
