Corporate Policies & Procedures

Please review new corporate policy & procedures:

Dress Code:
It is advised that you come to work dressed according to your salary. If we see you wearing Prada shoes and carrying a Gucci bag, we assume you aredoing well financially and therefore do not need a raise. If you dress poorly, you need to learn to manage your money better, so that you buy nicer clothes, and therefore do not need a raise. If you dress just right, you are right where you need to be and therefore do not need a raise.

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

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

Bereavement Leave:
This is no excuse for missing work. There is nothing you can do for dead relatives, friends or co-workers. Every effort should be made to have non-employees attend to the arrangements. In rare cases where employee involvement is necessary, the funeral should be scheduled in the late afternoon. We will be glad to allow you to work through your lunch hour and subsequently leave one hour early.

Toilet Use:
Entirely too much time is being spent in the toilet. There is now a strict three-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 Offender" category. Anyone caught smiling in the picture will be sanctioned under the company's mental health policy.

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. Chubby people get 5 minutes for lunch, because that's all the time needed to drink a Slim-Fast.

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, contemplations, consternation and input should be directed elsewhere.

The Management.

hehe- my answer to this "management memo"

1. ok. i'll turn up naked. i garauntee someone will pay me more.
2. *cough* sars. i promise you, you'll give me the day off.
3. but the price is right is not on saturday or sunday, nor is the bank open. i guess the next time "management" over pays me, i'll just not be able to go to the bank to clear up the issue, and i'll consider it copensation for a job well done. maybe i'll buy more-not-clothes.
4. by the time you read this letter, i'd have hanged myself in the management's office. deal with it, work through it. remember, there is nothing you can do for the dead, except to cut them from your ceiling fan. have fun!
5. good- the company will see my tattoo! i've been looking for a reason to show it off. it says "fuck off" on my ass. you can consider it an astronmy lesson since all you'll see if my fat "moon" on your camera. if that doesn't get me fired, nothing will. at least i know the mental health clause is covered in my minimal benefits package. i'll consider all that time in the padded room as those "personal days" you wouldn't give me before. it'll be great- i'll be able to color and watch jenny-jones reruns, sleep in late, and if i'm lucky- be able to take prozac and other fun drugs.
6. i must say, your lunch break does not cover every one. i am a bulemic. it takes time to be able to force up all that food one can consume in a half an hour. the only way i can eat my supersized biggie fries and migetlicious sandwhich with extra cheese, more meat, and other such additions and the biggee frosted treat with fake chocolate flavoring (plus my diet coke to wash it all down) and stay skinny enough to eat is is to resort to desperate measures. it's the american way! i don't think a half an hour is nearly long enough for someone with my condition brought on by accessive work regulations. i can't sue the fast food company anymore, so i'll just have to resort to sueing you. if that bitch with the hot coffee can win a million dollars from mcdonalds, i am sure i'll be able to live comfortably and nakedly off whatever i can get from you.

oh, excuse me- i have to use the bathroom- it's been about 4 months since my last "personal" day.


Most sincerely
