Sad Sight

On my way home from work yesterday I took the route via Burgpassage and saw the poor roses.
A guy hurrying by saw me taking the pic (of a rubbish bin after all!), stopped, looked, looked at me and suddenly looked sad himself.
Sorry, man.

These roses made at least three people sad, if two only for a sec.

Oh, what might´ve happened here...

Back home Ingo told me he´d just arrived himself - usually he works Fridays only till lunchtime (they have to).
They had a surprise-employees meeting.
You can guess, tough times.
New boss.

A while ago "everybody" agreed to let go of Christmas money and stuff - turned out everybody but those in the high positions...
The boss (sits in Frankfurt if I got that right) was supposed to deliver numbers for an audit in August, didn´t before October and now they know:

No improvement.

Company at stake.

Another sad, frightening thing.
What will the future bring...
