New Rules For Employment
SICKNESS AND RELATED LEAVE: We will no longer accept a doctor statement as proof of sickness. If you are able to go to the doctor, you are able to come to work.
SURGERY: Operations are now banned. As long as you are an employee here, you need all your organs. You should not consider removing anything. We hired you intact. To have something removed constitutes a breach of employment.
BEREAVEMENT LEAVE: This is no excuse for missing work. There is nothing you can do for dead friends, Relatives or coworkers. 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 be glad to allow you to work through your lunch hour and subsequently leave one hour early, provided your share of the work is done enough.
YOUR OWN DEATH: This will be accepted as an excuse. However, we require at least two weeks notice as it is your duty to train your own replacement.
RESTROOM USE: Entirely too much time is being spent in the restroom. In the future, we will follow the practice of going in alphabetical order. For instance, all employees whose names begin with '''A''' will go from 8:00 to 8:10, employees whose names begin with '''B''' will go from 8:10 to 8:20 and so on. If you're unable to go at your allotted time, it will be necessary to wait until the next day when your turn comes again. In extreme emergencies employees may swap their time with a coworker. Both employees and supervisors in writing must approve this exchange. In addition, there is now a strict 3-minute time limit in the stalls. At the end of three minutes, an alarm will sound, the toilet paper roll will retract, and the stall door will open.
PAYCHECK GUIDE: The following helpful guide has been prepared to help our employees better understand their paychecks:

The Management
There once was a bear and a rabbit that hated each other. One day, they found a genie in a lamp who said he would grant them each three wishes.The bear went first and he said,"I wish to be the only male bear in this forrest." And he got his wish.
The rabbit said, "I want a motercycle helmet." And he got his wish.
The bear went up and said, "I wish to be the only male bear in the United States, and all the rest to be female." And he got his wish.
The rabbit said, "I wish I had a motorcycle to go with that helmet." And he got his wish.
The bear said, "I wish I was the only male bear in the world, and all the rest were females." And he got his wish.
It was the rabbit's turn, and he said, "I wish that bear was gay."
Ancient Chinese Torture
A young man was lost wandering in a forest, when he came upon a small house. He knocked on the door and was greeted by an ancient Chinese man with a long, grey beard. "I'm lost," said the man. "Can you put me up for the night?"
"Certainly," the Chinese man said, "but on one condition. If you so much as lay a finger on my daughter, I will inflict upon you the three worst Chinese tortures known to man."
"Ok," said the man, thinking that the daughter must be pretty old as well, and entered the house.
Before dinner, the daughter came down the stairs. She was young, beautiful, and had a fantastic figure. She was obviously attracted to the young man since she couldn't keep her eyes off him during the meal. Remembering the old man's warning, he ignored her and went up to bed alone. But during he night, he could bear it no longer, and sneaked into her room for a night of passion. He was careful to keep everything quiet so the old man wouldn't hear. Near dawn he crept back to his room, exhausted, but happy.
He woke to feel a pressure on his chest. Opening his eyes he saw a large rock on his chest with a note on it that read, "Chinese Torture 1: Large rock on chest." "Well, that's pretty crappy," he thought. "If that's the best the old man can do then I don't have much to worry about." He picked the boulder up, walked over to the window and threw the boulder out. As he did so he noticed another note on it that read: "Chinese Torture 2: Rock tied to left testicle." In a panic he glanced down and saw the rope that was already getting close to the end. Figuring that a few broken bones was better than castration, he jumped out of the window after the boulder. As he plummeted downward he saw a large sign on the ground that read, "Chinese Torture 3: Right testicle tied to bedpost."
One day a redneck, wearing nothing but jeans and suspenders, was pumping gas into his car, a Ford Pinto, at a local gas station somewhere down south. As he's pumping gas, a man with a Ferreri F150 pulls up to the pump, and starts giving his car gas too. The two men start talking, and the redneck critisizes the other guy's car. The guy with the Ferrari challenges the redneck to a race. Keeping a family tradition, the redneck accepts. The two drive to a long stretch of country road, and set up the rules.
The guy gets in gets in his Ferrari, knowing the obvious winner, and the redneck walks around into his car. The guy drops three fingers on the steering wheel of his F150, and they go. The guy shifts his F150 into second gear, figuring he'd toy with the redneck. The Pinto is nothing more then a speck in the rearview mirror. All of a sudden, VROOOOM!, and the Pinto is far ahead in the lead. Surprised, the guy shifts it into 4th, and again the Pinto is nothing more then a speck in the rearview mirror. Again, VROOOOM!, and the Pinto is back in the lead.
Getting nervous, the guy shifts into 6th. By now, the F150 is going around 250 mph. Again feeling confident, but still surprised at the Pinto's power, he looks into his rearview mirror, and sees nothing but a dot. VROOOOM!, the Pinto is in the lead. Realizing he's been beat, the guy pulls over and gets out of his car, angry.
The redneck backs up near the guy and gets out, shivering like a chihuahua. The guy asks the redneck "WHAT DID YOU PUT IN THAT CAR?" The redneck replies "I don't know, but i got my suspender stuck in your door!"
