Last Evacuation Drill

XYZ Office -> A fire alarm rang at 6 PM when almost all employees were in office(approx 5000). As usual entire office was evacuated within 3 mins & every employee gathered outside the office.

10 mins passed ..................................
5 more mins passed .................................

Security Officer announces,

"Dear Employees - with melting heart I am making this announcement that for many of you it will be a last evacuation drill, as we are laying off almost 80% of the employees. While moving in, if your access card does not work, you are laid off & all their belongings will be couriered to them tomorrow. We followed this approach as we don't want to fill email box size with layoff mail in thousands & also to avoid any fight inside office".

Hope you have nice career ahead. Please move in & try your luck.
