imprisine, (OT but so worth while.) AND.....I'm afraid to LOSE MY JOB....

In the event you do lose your job take heart in this company policy...

Pink Slip Memo~~~
As a result of the reduction of money budgeted for department
areas, we are forced to cut down on our number of personnel.
Under this plan, older employees will be asked to take early
retirement, thus permitting the retention of younger people who
represent our future. Therefore, a program to phase out older
personnel by the end of the current fiscal year, via retirement,
will be placed into effect immediately.

This program will be known as SLAP (Sever Late-Aged Personnel).
Employees who are SLAPPED will be given the opportunity to look
for jobs outside the company. SLAPPED employees can request a
review of their employment records before actual retirement takes
place. This review phase of the program is called SCREW (Survey
of Capabilities of Retired Early Workers). All employees who
have been SLAPPED and SCREWED may file an appeal with upper
management.

This appeal is called SHAFT (Study by Higher Authority Following
Termination). Under the terms of the new policy, an employee may
be SLAPPED once, SCREWED twice, but may be SHAFTED as many times
as the company deems appropriate. If an employee follows the
above procedure, he/she will be entitled to get HERPES (Half
Earnings for Retired Personnel's Early Severance) or CLAP
(Combined Lump-sum Assistance Payment) unless he/she already has
AIDS (Additional Income from Dependents or Spouse).

As HERPES and CLAP are considered benefit plans, any employee who
has received HERPES or CLAP will no longer be SLAPPED or SCREWED
by the company. Management wishes to assure the younger
employees who remain on board that the company will continue its
policy of training employees through our Special High Intensity
Training (SHIT). We take pride in the amount of SHIT our
employees receive. We have given our employees more SHIT than any
company in this area. If any employee feels they do not receive
enough SHIT on the job, see your immediate supervisor. Your
supervisor is specially trained to make sure you receive all the
SHIT you can stand.

And, once again, thanks for all your years of service with us.

The Management
