One of my favorite pieces of business writing ever, which has a lot of stylistic choices I wouldn't make but which gets the point across, is this internal memo about Citi's mortgage business from someone who had been trying to ring the arm bell. https://cybercemetery.unt.edu/archive/fcic/20110310201200/http://c0181567.cdn1.cloudfiles.rackspacecloud.com/2007-11-03_Citi_Email_from_Dick_Bowen_to_Robert_Rubin_and_David_Bushnell_Re_concerns_financial_issues.pdf …

Yes. Except they didn’t actually properly terminate him, because that would have likely attracted unwanted attention. There was some verbal and mental calculus about the true cost of terminating him vs sending him home.
