Bring your "emotional support clown" to work

In New Zealand, when someone's going to get laid off, their companies give them a heads up . . . and they're legally required to let the employee bring along a "support person" like a friend, their spouse, or their lawyer, if they choose.

How about an emotional support clown?

There's a guy named Josh Thompson in Auckland, New Zealand who recently got an email from his bosses at an ad agency telling him they needed to have a meeting to discuss his future at the company...so he knew it meant he was getting canned.

What's a guy to do when he's about to be fire? He hired an emotional support clown to come to the meeting with him! Josh paid the clown around $125 to come with him to the meeting in full makeup . . . and make balloon animals while Josh was being let go.

The result was HILARIOUS, and he even says his bosses found the whole thing funny . . . and the guy already has a new job with one of their competitors.

As for the clown, he says this was "not the weirdest job I've had . . . top 10 though."
