Sound Familar?

[John D Harris]

To: All Employees
Subject: New Policies

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.

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.

BEREAVEMENT LEAVE:
his is no excuse for missing work. There is nothing you can do for dead
friends, relatives, or coworkers. 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 1 hour early, provided your
share of the work is enough to keep the job going in your absence.

YOUR OWN DEATH:
This will be accepted as an approved excuse. However, we do require at
least
2 weeks advance notice, as it is your duty to train your replacement.

RESTROOM USE:
Entirely too much time is being spent in the restrooms. Therefore, in the
future all employees will follow the practice
of going in alphabetical order. For instance, those whose names begin with
'A' will go from 8:00 to 8:10; employees whose names begin with 'B' will go
from 8:10 to 8:20; and so on. If you're unable to go at your time, it
will be necessary to wait until the next day when your time comes again. In
extreme emergencies, employees may swap their time with another coworker.
However, both employee 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 3 minutes an alarm will sound, the toilet paper roll will retract,
and the stall door will open.

I'm right there laughing with you. That was very very funny!

Actually that sounds (kinda) like what has happened to me! Our sick, vacation and bad weather days have all been rolled into one now called personal time. We get 12 days a year and if you miss more
than that you don't get paid for the days you miss work! Stupid economy!

Sounds like a place where I worked once where someone was criticized for taking time off when their father died. I am serious. It happened.
