In the hypertension episode, why would James's boss tell his wife he's laid off? - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Shouldn't he have saved that confidential for James?! Especially if he's not at home. That's a little heart-breaking to leave for someone else to pass on. Wife or not. "Could you leave a message for James? Tell him he's laid off!" LOL

James was home. He was asleep.

But yep, you are right, he should not have told Flo that info. No boss should leave that kind of message to someone other than their employee.

Good Post-lol Yeah at that point I guess it's reall easy to feel the world is passing you by. Defintely don't give that type of message to someone.

That message plus the stupid telegram abt James' death were just two stupid ways to deliver bad news.

He was probably scared to tell him, especially if James had the same attitude at work as he did at home.

It's unrealistic for a boss to be scared to inform one of their employess they are laid off. If the employee acted like a animal after the news, all the boss would have to do is call the police

Not only that, if James had an attitude like that at work, they would have been let him go.

Exactly, he was able to have that attitude at home because he was the HEAD of the house. At work it's a totally different situation

I've worked with some people that the bosses were scared to fire.
I know after they fired one guy they had extra security up there for a few weeks.

Well, it was a little unrealistic, but I don't see anything wrong with it. I mean, Florida was his wife. Other than James, who else would he have told?

"Can you tell Mr. Evans to give us a call back when he gets a chance?
