Arent Ameircan companys Great!

Discussion in 'General Open/Public Discussion' started by KickedOut, 17 Dec 2001.


  1. Wow,

    What a great country we live in and the grat companys we work for I just love these new socialist rules!

    This is a memo we recieved today I thought I would share it with my Tribes family :D

    To All Employees:

    We must now take a moment and review the environment in which we work in the main building and how we can affect a positive change to our new work space for each and every employee.

    1.We must remember to refrain from having impromptu meetings in the hallways. These conversations are extremely distracting in our open floor plan for staff trying to concentrate. Employees are asked to step into an empty office or meeting room to hold their conversations.

    2.The use of radios in the work place must be discontinued during the core working hours of 8 to 5, Monday through Friday. Again, they can be very distracting for the employee nearby and it does not project the right image for visitors to the building.

    3. Employees will not be allowed to wear full ear headphones of any kind. The safety risks associated with this type of headphones became apparently during our last fire drill. An employee wearing headphones was not able to hear the fire alarm and consequently did not evacuate the building in accordance with safety rules.

    4.Employees meeting a visitor in the reception area are asked to immediately escort the visitor away from the reception area. Conversations in the reception area make it difficult for the reception to hear a caller.

    These actions will continue to provide employees a safe and responsible work environment.

    Your full cooperation in this effort is appreciated.

    Thanks,

    Human Resources

    We arent allowed to send an email to the entire staff unless it is approved. And even then they usually make us send it out in print.

    Talk about micromanagment

    Every decade Americans are garenteed to have to things happen to the population. Americans get fatter and pansy becomes the standard way to be. :(


    sorry they gave you sucky rules.
     
  5. Reminds me of a story I got from Oed a few years back -
    "The Americans and the Japanese decided to engage in a boat race. Both teams practiced hard and long to reach their peak performance levels. On the big day they felt ready. The Japanese won by a mile.

    The American team was discouraged by the loss. Morale sagged. Corporate management decided that the reason for the crushing defeat had to be found, so a consulting firm was hired to investigate the problem and recommend corrective action.

    The consultant's finding: The Japanese team had eight people rowing and one person steering; the American team had one person rowing and eight people steering.

    After a year of study and millions spent analyzing the problem, the consultant firm concluded that too many people were steering and not enough were rowing on the American team. So as race day neared again the following year, the American team's management structure was completely reorganized. The new structure: four steering managers, three area steering managers, and a new performance review system for the person rowing the boat to provide work incentive.

    The next year, the Japanese won by TWO miles!!!

    Humiliated, the American corporation laid off the rower for poor performance and gave the managers a bonus for discovering the problem."

    - Sad. Isn't it... Whenever I get news like this, I pause, consider where I am today, then call to thank my teacher. Well...I used to-until she got an unlisted number...

    KO, use open ear headphones. I have a pair. they work great. I used them for jogging so I could hear cars and strangers approaching. If you put on a mic it looks like you're doing important work.

    This is apropriate. I'll put the part about the American Combany in bold.

    THE "TWO-COW EXPLANATION"

    A CHRISTIAN: You have two cows. You keep one and give one to your neighbor.

    A SOCIALIST: You have two cows. The government takes one and gives it to your neighbor.

    A REPUBLICAN: You have two cows. Your neighbor has none. So what?

    A DEMOCRAT: You have two cows. Your neighbor has none. You feel guilty for being successful. You vote people into office who tax your cows, forcing you to sell one to raise money to pay the tax. The people you voted for then take the tax money and buy a cow and give it to your neighbor. You feel righteous.

    A COMMUNIST: You have two cows. The government seizes both and provides you with milk.

    A FASCIST: You have two cows. The government seizes both and sells you the milk. You join the underground and start a campaign of sabotage.

    DEMOCRACY, AMERICAN STYLE: You have two cows. The government taxes you
    to the point you have to sell both to support a man in a foreign country who has only one cow, which was a gift from your government.

    CAPITALISM, AMERICAN STYLE: You have two cows. You sell one, buy a bull, and build a herd of cows.

    BUREAUCRACY, AMERICAN STYLE: You have two cows. The government takes them both, shoots one, milks the other, pays you for the milk, then pours the milk down the drain.

    AN AMERICAN CORPORATION: You have two cows. You sell one, and force the other to produce the milk of four cows. You are surprised when the cow drops dead.

    A FRENCH CORPORATION: You have two cows. You go on strike because you want three cows.

    A JAPANESE CORPORATION: You have two cows. You redesign them so they are one-tenth the size of an ordinary cow and produce twenty times the milk.

    A GERMAN CORPORATION: You have two cows. You reengineer them so they live for 100 years, eat once a month, and milk themselves.

    AN ITALIAN CORPORATION: You have two cows but you don't know where they are. You break for lunch.

    A RUSSIAN CORPORATION: You have two cows. You count them and learn you have five cows. You count them again and learn you have 42 cows. You count them again and learn you have 12 cows. You stop counting cows and open another bottle of vodka.

    A MEXICAN CORPORATION: You have 2 cows, but they are just pictures painted on the door of your pick up. You take a nap.

    A SWISS CORPORATION: You have 5000 cows, none of which belongs to you. You charge for storing them for others.

    A BRAZILIAN CORPORATION: You have two cows. You enter into a partnership with an American corporation. Soon you have 1000 cows and the American corporation declares bankruptcy.

    AN INDIAN CORPORATION: You have two cows. You worship them.

    A TALIBAN You have two cows. You turn them loose in the Afghan "countryside" and they both die. You blame the godless American infidels.
