PLEASE OBSERVE FOLLOWING:

SICK DAYS:

We will no longer accept a doctor statement as proof of sickness. If you are
able to go to the doctor, you are able to come to work.

SURGERY:

Operations are now banned. As long as you are an employee here, you need all
your organs. You should not consider removing anything. We hired you intact.
To have something removed constitutes a breach of employment.

PERSONAL DAYS:

Each employee will receive 104 personal days a year. They are called
Saturday & Sunday.

VACATION DAYS:

All employees will take their vacation at the same time every year.
The vacation days are as follows: January 1 & December 25.

RESTROOM USE:

Entirely too much time is being spent in the restroom. In the future, we
will follow the practice of going in alphabetical Order. For instance, all
employees whose names begin with 'A' will go from 8:00 to 8:20, employees
whose names begin with 'B' will go from 8:20 to 8:40 and so on. If you're
unable to go at your allotted time, it will be necessary to wait until the
next day when your turn comes again. In extreme emergencies, employees may
swap their time with a co-worker.
Both employees' supervisors must approve this exchange in writing.
In addition, there is now a strict 3-minute time limit in the stalls.
At the end of three minutes, an alarm will sound, the toilet paper roll will
retract, the stall door will open and a picture will be taken.
After your second offence, your picture will be posted on the company
bulletin board under the "Chronic Offenders" category.

LUNCH BREAK:

Skinny people get 30 minutes for lunch as they need to eat more so that they
can look healthy. Normal size people get 15 minutes for lunch to get a
balanced meal to maintain their average figure. Fat people get 5 minutes for
lunch, because that's all the time needed to drink a Slim Fast and take a
diet pill.

Thank you for your loyalty to our company. We are here to provide a positive
employment experience. Therefore, all questions, comments, concerns,
complaints, frustrations, irritations, aggravations, insinuations,
allegations, accusations, contemplation, consternation and input should be
directed elsewhere.

Have a nice week.
Management

Well, this sort of thing's all very well in its place, but I don't hold with these kind of wishy washy employment practices. What we need is firm management and less of this kind of liberal do-gooding.

Bring back Saturday working and the Company store!

:eek:)

<<What?.....the whole of christmas day off?>>

Yes.

In my defence, I'm modern about these things and I feel that you have to give your workers some free time to buy, and deliver, a Christmas present to you.

Did anyone in the UK see the program on building of the Hoover Dam? US employment practices make Oz's employmet contract sound like namby-pamby pinko submission to the Proles.

About time too. At last "The Land of the Long Weekend" is changing its working practices. And I thought that in Oz taking a "Sickie" was an accepted addition to the holiday allowance.

One may laugh but the following is true :

My sister who is a senior nursing sister with over 30 years service got a Christmas bonus of ...£1.

The bonus was withheld to go towards the Christmas staff lunch !

And they wonder why they can't find nursing staff?

Christmas Bonus?
Staff Lunch?

What on earth are they?

We have the facility to bring sandwiches to work for our lunch. The staff canteen was axed 25 years ago, and the tea lady with her trolly was axed 15 years ago. When the cleaner's on holiday, everyone has to vacuum their desk areas - even the Technical Director. It's called an 'Equal Opportunities Employer'.

Regards

Richard.
