I got an email from HR a couple of hours ago that said:
Subject: To all in tech administrative positions
To Mr. [VALUED-EMPLOYEE],
Due to recent complaints about total time spent working coming from the tech area, we in coordination with Management, have started to enforce the following set of work ethic rules:
1. All complaints will be met with severe beatings
2. Further scheeming to overthrow the power establishment will lead to swift termination
3. All in tech admin positions will have to pass a thorough physical examination:
a) resist working in poisonous environments
b) resist working under water/no oxygen conditions
c) resist electrocution
4. Those who pass point 3.c) will be terminated; we do no condone smart-asses capable of resisting our work stimulating incentives
5. Have a happy St. Valentines day!
The beatings will continue until morale improves.
Sincerely,
Human Resources

This was caused by an internal email that started circulating wishing a happy V day. Our guys at HR decided to play a joke and think of the whole V day as in V for Vendetta with us, the techs, causing a revolution and pushing management and human resources away.
And this is not the first email of this kind we've got from HR. Damn I love my workplace!
