So here’s to Andrew, who is now learning to fold his own socks. Here’s to the staff members who will find new jobs folding napkins for other people. And here’s to the rest of us, who will read this article, smile, and think: “At least I don’t have to tell my gardener we’re over.”
But if we did, we’d probably fire the gardener and keep the coffee person. That’s just survival. And that’s a lesson even a prince can learn—because some things, like caffeine, are worth the extra budget line.
Now if you’ll excuse me, I need to go check if my Roomba is still working. It’s the only staff I’ve got.
