Reminds me of the 80s when firms started to become more choosy and took advantage of peoples` fear of unemployment:


NEW OFFICE POLICIES

Dress Code:

1) You are advised to come to work dressed according to
Your salary.

2) If we see you wearing Prada shoes and carrying a
Gucci bag, we will assume you are doing well financially
And therefore do not need a raise.

3) 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 raise.

4) If you dress just right, you are right where you need
To be and therefore you do not needa 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 Saturdays &Sundays.

Bereavement Leave:
This is no excuse for missing work. There is nothing
You can do for dead friends, relatives or co-workers. Every
Effort should be made to have non-employees attend the
Funeral arrangements in your place. In rare cases where
Employee involvement is ne cessary, 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.




Bathroom Breaks:
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 offense, your picture will be posted on the
Company bulletin board under the 'Chronic Offenders'
Category. Anyone caught smiling in the picture will be
Sectioned 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, contemplation's, consternation
And input should be directed elsewhere.


The Management
Pass this on to all who are employed! And want to stay that way!

But, some men, ARE happy in their jobs, despite the recessions.

I work for the minimum rate and I work all the hours God sends. I never complain and don 't even think about silly things like lunch-breaks or going home at 5.p.m.

I 've been the Head Masseur at a Ladies Sauna now for 5 years and have never taken a holiday. O.K. it 's exhausting at times but I am well-satisfied and I don 't give a fig if I NEVER get a pension in a million years. We are not all materialistically-minded !

Jabberwocky ! Job Alert ! I 'm sure we do need a waxer at our Ladies Sauna, if you apply a.s.a.p. I asked if there were any openings for a man of your capabilities and they said ' Yes ' ----that 's if you are really up to the job.

Rates are 25 p. an hour, no breaks, supply your own wax, no insurance cover for exhaustion [ or related illnesses ]. Your predecessor has just taken early retirement, and is now bed-ridden, but he can advise you on procedure from his home ' Gentle Breezes Haven For The Infirm ', Derbyshire.

Mr. Jabberwocky :-Think yourself lucky that we 're only asking 25 p. When we advertised the Waxing Special Operative job in the newspaper, we had 24,864 applicants from Parson Cross alone. [ In the first hour ].
