Hallmark responds to the job market.
Several years ago, if you were to lose your job, it would be hard but you could be fairly optimistic about your chances of finding a new one in a fairly short amount of time. However, with the economy a mess, it takes an average of 8 months to find a new job.
In response to this, Hallmark has added a new selection of cards to their "Sympathy" line; "Sorry about your job loss" cards. They have also added a line of cards that have recession humour and support.
Take a look at the video:
Leave it to Hallmark to find a way to make a card for almost anything. I just hope that there aren't any particularly vicious bosses out there who would give an employee one of these cards as a way to tell them that they are fired.
What do you think about these cards? Would you feel happy or insulted if you were given one of these?
