Today we all received a memo from Trudy in HR regarding “office attire” policy.
Trudy was reminding us that: “Women should not wear cut off shorts, tube/halter tops or have underwear exposed.”
“Women” not “men.”
So either us guys aren’t a problem or our underwear is considered acceptable for public viewing. If I had the [...]

So, my boss, Clark, assigned me to participate on the “spirit” committee…
Our job was to come up with ways to boost employee morale and “foster a positive and productive workplace culture.”
I was skeptical, cynical, and uninterested, which – apparently – made me an ideal candidate for membership…
But I did my part and showed up at [...]

So, my boss, Clark, “volunteered” me to be part of our corporate “spirit” committee.
Call us “Team Spirit.”
I went to my first meeting today.
The name “spirit” is fitting. Most of the committee look like they’ve been dead for a long time.
That’s probably because we were all forced to participate and no one has any [...]
Please note I am currently in the washroom. I will respond to your email upon my return. If you require immediate assistance…

Three little things…
Number 1
Mary Margaret and Jack from Payroll are unlikely friends.
They work in adjacent cubes. Despite the fact that they sit within 8 feet of each other, they call each other and talk on the phone.
I hear both of them speaking. I also hear their voices coming through their phone lines. So I hear [...]

My boss, Clark, used to be in sales.
Based on my meeting with him today, you’d never have guessed.
This morning I walked by his office. He was on the phone. He snapped his fingers to get my attention. Then he waved me in.
After he hung up, he told me he needed a favor.
Apparently there’s a corporate [...]

We had two feet of snow yesterday.
In response: An email from our friend in Human Resources, Trudy Cousins.
She advises us that it often snows in the winter.
Thanks, Trudy. Anything else?
We are also told that heavy snow storms can result in challenges for employees getting to work.
Annnd…?
Trudy just wants to remind us that in the event [...]
