“I’m afraid I have called you here to tell you that I am obliged to terminate your employment with the firm.”

It definitely makes me reflect to past posts like this one or this one (oh yeah, I'm talking as if they were years ago -- but they were only within the past month). Is that darth vader I hear coming up behind me?
