New HR Boss

Human Resources: Distribution: ALL STAFF Tuesday Jan 3rd.

Dear Staff,

It is advised that you come to work dressed according to your salary.

If we see you wearing Prada trainers & carrying a Gucci bag we assume
you are doing well financially and therefore you do not need a pay rise.

If you dress poorly, you need to learn to manage your money better, so that you may buy nicer clothes and therefore you do not
need a pay rise.

If you dress in-between, you are right where you need to be and therefore you do not need a pay rise.

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.

HOLIDAYS:
All employees will take their vacation at the same time every year.

The holidays are as follows: January 1 & December 25

TOILET USE:

Entirely too much time is being spent in the toilets.
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 ‘
trap’
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.

Funny Human Resources Story

A big steel company was feeling it was time for a shakeup so they hired a
new head of human resources.  Well, the new boss was determined to rid the
company of all slackers.

On a tour of the facilities, this HR supremo noticed a guy leaning against
a wall.  The room was full of workers and he wanted to let them know
that he meant business; so he asked the guy, “How much money do you make
a week?”

A little surprised, the young man looked at him and said, “I make $500 a
week. Why?”

The Human Resources boss said, “Wait right here.” He walked back to his
office, came back in two minutes, and handed the guy $2,000 in cash and
said, “Here’s four weeks’ pay. Now GET OUT and don’t come back.”

Feeling pretty good about himself, the new boss looked around the room
and asked, “Does anyone want to tell me what that slacker did here?”

From across the room a voice said, “Pizza delivery guy from Domino’s.”

Ideas to Enliven Your Next Meeting

Dreading another boring company meeting?  Don’t despair, have some
fun with it!  Make it more exciting and memorable by trying some of
these Ways to Liven Up a Meeting:

Spill coffee on the conference table. Make a little paper boat and sail
it down the table.

Give a broad wink to someone else at the table.  In time, wink at
everyone.

Occasionally turn to the person next to you and twirl your index finger
around your ear as if to indicate that the speaker is slightly crazy and
everybody knows it.

Bring a hand puppet, preferably an animal. Ask it to clarify difficult
points.

When there is a call for questions, lean back in your chair, prop your
feet up on the table, smile contentedly, and say, “Well, here’s the way I
see it, J.B…” (or any other impressive-sounding initials that are not
actually your boss’).

Bring a small mountain of computer printouts to the meeting.
Include some old-fashioned fanfold paper for dramatic effect. Every time the
speaker makes a point, check for it in one of the printouts.  Pretend
to find substantiating evidence, nod vigorously, and say, “uh-huh, uh-huh!”

Stay behind as everyone else, including the boss, leaves.  Thank
them for coming.
