Heres one that was fowarded to my bosses and the employees, I knew I kept a copy of it for a reason. EVERYONE complains in NYC some at you, some with you. LOL

Ladies and gentlemen I sat in the office of one of your employees and overheard a conversation that disturbed me greatly.

Is it your policy to not give your employees lunch if they are helping customers? Are you aware that this is illegal? The labour law states for a certain number of hours worked you are allowed to have a break, how can you ask someone to work for 8 hours and not have a break is this the policy of the entire company? has ***** gone mad? no wonder you have such a high turn over in staff how could someone be comfortable working under these conditions?

Thats why you are losing customers, because the way you treat your staff like dogs.

Shame on you!

I think a few of us get these mass company e-mails from time to time....

This one if from my job..

Break room supplies (paper plates, plastic utensils, coffee creamer, sugar, etc) are not to be removed in excess for potlucks, parties, or personal use. There has been a drastic increase in ordering break room supplies. Please consider your co-workers & do not store supplies in open desks or workstations and return unused supplies to break rooms.

Facilities is requesting your help in limiting the use of supplies to kitchen. Notify facilities when supplies are needed for pot lucks and birthday celebrations. We've set aside supplies for such events.

We used to spend money like there was no tomorrow, now they're cutting back and keeping an eye..... Supply drawers are actually locked and if you need something, you get an escort...

Lo que nada nos cuesta hagamoslo fiesta.

No wonder why at many buildings they decided to lock the bathrooms and let people only with keys to enter, other places they started charging for using the service due to the lack of care before and after use.

Msaucey, now we also need an escort to go to the supply closet LOL. The server room is now locked as well, I used to love going there and warming up a bit.

This is one of the good ones I got:

Hello All,

I am looking out the window and I see somebody driving a beige accura left their headlights on. Please go to the parking lot and turn them off.

Thanks,

xxxxx.


Of course the email was coming from the Atlanta office, what are the chances any of us parked all the way down there.....

"Going back to Colombia for that?" - Mario

No, not specifically for that.... it's just that I find people here to really sweat the small stuff and let little things like that make them miserable, cranky and irate. Ironci that in one of the richest countries on earth, with the most fresh water sources people are quabbling about a water bottle?

Maybe it's the cold weather? Dunno...

This kind of BS is why I refuse to work for a company with a "stuffed-shirt" attitude.

At my office, they give us all kinds of snacks including bagels, candy, Hageen Daas(?) bars, etc. I have always though it was funny that a relatively small company which is trying to control health insurance costs would provide such large amounts of junk food to their employees. We have quite a few very fat people working here.

CG, I almost went to work for a company in San Antonio, and when I was reviewing their health plan, I saw that it clearly had language in their contract that if you smoke you're not covered, to keep health premiums low? Heck, I think if I smoked I wouldn't be hired... I don't think something like that would fly here in California, but makes good sense to me... Wish that was practiced more all around... then again, maybe it's more common than I'm aware of, so I wonder if it a TX thing?... hmmmm...

now that we've digressed from bottled water, through graffiti, to shitters, i'll share a shitter story from iran.

it was about 1970, middle of winter, snowing and freezing ass cold, and i was fuckin workin in the bazar in tehran. had only been there for a couple of days but this was my first lucky opportunity to visit the dumper. a friend pointed the way, and i wandered off through the maze of piles of carpets to this dingy little in house 'out house' in the corner of one of the buildings. sorry to say--or is it thankful???--i didn't take any photos. there on the floor of this crap house was two little cement pads about an inch high over a kind a piramid shapped funnel in the floor. you would drop your drawers--hopefully--stand on these foot pads, squat down and relieve yourself of that gooey brown slimy excess baggage and admire it as it clung to the walls of that inverted pyramid in the floor and then it dawned on me. am i just gonna leave it there, glued as it was to this ancient, brown shit covered funnel, or was i gonna seek some remedial attention to rid the world of that goober of shit, doomed to cling,as it was, to that wretched cavern, til hell froze over, should i not intervene.

as all these remedial thoughts raced through my head, what to do?; how to do it?; etc, i noted a gnarly old wooden, sort of walking stick, propped in the corner. AH HA, i was clearly not the first soul addressing this delema....the shit poker! right before my eyes. i grabbed it with both hands and slime-glob by slime glob, i poked it down the hole to LORD knows what waited below.

pleased with my wooden-stick-flush, i left the in-out house and returned to my friends office. as i made my way back, navigating through those frozen piles of carpets, i noticed that everyone was looking at me. what the fuck? i thought to myself, have i got shit on my pants, a bugger on my face...what the fuck are they looking at. some even giggled.

when i got back to adel's office, the folks there did the same, they just looked at me. finally, adel said, you didn't change your shoes before going there. no body wears their good shoes when going to the crapper........

i was treated like an outcast the rest of the day. FIN
