The speaker informs Patrick that the company is in a recession and at a standstill, making it impossible to continue operating. As a result, they have to start letting people go. The economic downturn has halted development and there are no contracts or jobs available. The speaker apologizes and gives Patrick his last two weeks' pay, acknowledging that it's not ideal but the best they can do for now. Yeah? Hey Pat, come on in. Ah, listen Patrick, I know you've been with us for quite some time now and frankly, there's just no easy way to say this. We're in a recession and the company's at a standstill. These conditions have made it impossible for us to continue operating, so we have no choice but to start letting people go. Well, the economic downturn has caused development to ground to a complete halt. Companies have stopped building, homeowners are delaying their renovations, we're at the bottom of the market hierarchy, and without contracts, we've got no jobs. I'm sorry Pat, there's really not much else I can do. Here's your last two weeks pay. I know it's not what you hoped for, but it's what I'm able to manage until further notice.
