I'm happy to inform you that the company Christmas Party will take place on December 23rd at Luigi's Open Pit Barbecue. There will be lots of spiked
eggnog and a small band playing traditional carols... feel free to sing along. And don't be surprised if our CEO shows up dressed as Santa Claus
to light the Christmas tree! Exchange of gifts among employees can be done at that time; however, no gift should be over $10.
Merry Christmas to you and your family!
Patty Lewis, Human Resources Director

In no way was Friday's memo intended to exclude our Jewish employees. We recognize that Hanukkah is an important holiday that often coincides
with Christmas. From now on we're calling the annual office celebration our "Holiday Party". The same policy applies to employees who are
celebrating Kwanzaa at this time. There will be no Christmas tree and no Christmas carols sung.
Happy Holidays to you and your family!
Patty Lewis, Human Resources Director

Regarding the anonymous note I received from a member of Alcoholics Anonymous requesting a non-drinking table, I'm happy to accommodate this
request. However, don't forget, if I put a sign on the table that reads, "AA Only", you won't be anonymous anymore. In addition, forget about the
gifts exchange. No gifts will be allowed since the union members feel that $10 is too much money.

I've arranged for members of Overeaters Anonymous to sit farthest from the dessert buffet and pregnant women closest to the restrooms. Gays are
allowed to sit with each other. Lesbians do not have to sit with the gay men; each will have their own table. Yes, there will be a flower arrangement for the gay men's table.
Happy now?

People, people -- nothing sinister was intended by wanting our CEO to play Santa Claus! Even if the anagram of "Santa" does happen to be "Satan".
There is no evil connotation to our own "little man in a red suit".

Vegetarians -- I've had it with you people! We're going to hold this party at Luigi's Open Pit Barbecue whether you like it or not. You can just
sit at the table farthest from the "grill of death", as you put it, and you'll get salad bar only, including hydroponics tomatoes. But, you know,
tomatoes have feelings, too. They scream when you slice them. I've heard them scream. I'm hearing them right now... Ha! I hope you all have a rotten
holiday! Drive drunk and die, you hear me?

I'm sure I speak for all of us in wishing Patty Lewis a speedy recovery from her stress-related illness. I'll continue to forward your cards to
her at the sanitarium. In the meantime, management has decided to cancel our Holiday Party and give everyone the afternoon of December
23rd off with full pay.
Happy Holidays!
Terri Bishop, Acting Human Resources Director

They say, "the tree of liberty must be watered with the blood of tyrants and patriots." I suppose it never occurred to them that they are the tyrants, not the patriots. Those weapons are not being used to fight some kind of tyranny; they are bringing them to an event where people are getting together to talk. -Mike Wong
But as far as board culture in general, I do think that young male overaggression is a contributing factor to the general atmosphere of hostility. It's not SOS and the Mess throwing hand grenades all over the forum- Red

It’s a sad state of affairs when you could even consider that this was not a joke..brothersinarm wrote:lol, that's actually quite funny....uh...at least I hope it was a joke and it wasn't a real message from your company.
The really sad thing is that I was not 100% sure.
