Company Policy

Dress Code:

It is advised that you come to work dressed according to your
salary. If we see you wearing Prada shoes and carrying a Gucci bag,
we assume you are doing well financially and therefore do not need a
raise. If you dress poorly, you need to learn to manage your money
better, so that you buy nicer clothes, and therefore you do not need
a raise. If you dress just right, you are right where you need to be
and therefore you do not need a 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
Saturday & Sunday.

Toilet Use:
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 sanctioned 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, contemplations,
consternation and input should be directed elsewhere.
