here's an amusing set of administrative instructions i saw in my sis' office the other day.

Dress Code:

1. It is advised that you come to work dressed according to your salary. If we see you wearing Prada shoes or carrying a Gucci bag, we assume you are doing well financially and therefore do not need a pay raise.
2. 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 pay raise.
3. If you dress just right, you are right where you need to be and therefore do no need a pay raise.

Sick Days:

We will no longer accept a doctor's certificate as proof of sickness.
If you are able to go to the doctor, you are able to come to work.

Holidays:

Each employee will receive 104 personal days a year. They are called Saturdays & Sundays.

Compassionate 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 to the arrangements. In rare cases where employee involvement is necessary, the funeral should be scheduled in the late afternoon. We will glad to allow you to work through your lunch hour and subsequently leave an hour earlier.

Toilet Use:

1. Apparently too much time is being spent in the toilet. There is now a strict three-minute time limit in the cubicles.
2. At the end of three minutes, an alarm will sound, the toilet paper roll will retract, the cubicle door will open, and your picture will be taken.
3. After your second offence, your picture will be posted on the company notice board under the "Chronic Offenders" category.
4. Anyone caught smiling in the picture will be sanctioned under the company's mental health policy.

Lunch Break:

1. Skinny people get 30 minutes for lunch, as they need to eat more so that they can look healthy.
2. Normal-sized people get 15 minutes for lunch to get a balanced meal to maintain their figure.
3. Chubby people get 5 minutes for lunch, because that is all the time needed to drink a Slim-Fast.
