Man Accused of Having Boss Killed to Save Job

For centuries mankind has pondered such questions as: What is the sound of one hand clapping? If a tree falls in a forest and no one is around to hear it, does it make a sound? Now a Spanish man is accused of adding another philosophical riddle to the mix; if you have your boss killed can you avoid being laid off? Police say that the head of audiovisual services at the Barcelona International Convention Center hired a Colombian hitman who killed the director of the convention center. Investigators say the director planned to lay off the arrested man as part of a restructuring project.

    The next boss will see you were on the list to be fired, and you will be fired.
    if its restructuring then its orders from corporate and nobody at your site can do anything about it.
