This was a statement pinned up on bulletin board of my father-in-law's office in the cement business in 1977...surely it was a joke!
From: Management
TO: All Personnel
Subject: Excessive Absences Dated: Dec. 21, 1977
Due to the excessive number of absences, the following rules and procedures will be put into effect as of this date:
SICKNESS: No excuse. We will no longer accept your doctor's statement as proof, as we believe if you are able to go to the doctor, you are able to come to work.
LEAVE OF ABSENCE: (For an operation) We are no longer allowing this practice. We wish to discourage any thoughts that you may need an operation, we we believe that as long as you are en employee here, you will need all of whatever you have and should not consider having anything removed. We hired you as you are, and to have anything removed would certainly make you less than we bargained for.
DEATH: (Your own) This will be accepted as an excuse, but we would like a two week's notice, as we feel it is your duty to teach someone else your job.
Also, entirely too much time is being spent in the restroom. In the future, we will follow the practice of going in alphabetical order. Flr instance, those whose name begins with "A" will go from 8:00 to 8:15; "B" will go from 8:15 to 8:30, and so on. If you are unable to go at the appointed time, it will be necessary to wait until the next day when your turn comes again! :lol: :lol:
