missives from THA MAN

The following is copied & pasted from an actual email sent out agency wide by the schmeghead who runs our HR Dept.


Hello All,

It has come to my attention that there was a 1-page print out on the printer in the Lebanon mailroom. This print out was probably intended to be a joke, but regardless was totally not appropriate at all. It is not the best use of IS equipment/resources, it is consider harassment, and violation of VNA policies.

Certainly if you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to call or stop into my office.

Thanks for your time,

Mike Pukepuddle*, M.S., PHR
Director of Human Resources
Visiting Nurse Association and Hospice of VT and NH

As it so happens, I did have questions & concerns. Just a few. Obviously my biggest most burning question is " WHAT WAS THE JOKE? WAS IT *VERY* LEWD?? OH, TELL ME, TELL ME!!" I think it's wicked to hint at a joke--one that was significant enough to prompt a royal HR decree--and then leave everyone hangin' vis a vis the actual particulars of the joke. It's like teasing us.

And here is my concern--this is the dude that has veto power over my pending raise. How is it fair that such a thing be in the hands of a dumb schmendrick that can't even manage basic 2nd grade grammar ("it is consider harrassment")? The entire email is a paragraph and a 1/4-- it would have taken all of a nanosecond to thoroughly proofread it. Ugh!! Idiot!!
