Valentines Day Memo From Multinational Corpco.


Memo:
From MULTINATIONAL CORPCO Corp. Inc.

EFFECTIVE February 14, 2011

Subject:
NEW OFFICE POLICY FOR ALL EMPLOYEES

Dress Code:

1) You are advised to come to work dressed according to your salary.

2) If we see you wearing Prada shoes and carrying a Gucci bag, we will assume you are doing well financially and therefore do not need a raise.

3) If you dress poorly, you need to learn to manage your money better, so that you may buy nicer clothes, and therefore you do not need a raise.

4) If you dress just right, you are right where you need to be and therefore you do not need a raise.

Sick Days:

We will no longer accept a doctor's statement as proof of sickness. If you are able to go to the doctor, you are able to come to work.

Personal Days:
Each employee will receive 104 personal days a year. They are called Saturdays & Sundays.

Bereavement Leave:
This is no excuse for missing work. There is nothing you can do for dead friends, relatives or co-workers. Every effort should be made to have non-employees attend the funeral arrangements in your place. 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.

So in closing, on behalf of "Multinational Corpco. Corp. Inc.," we want to wish all employees a Happy Valentines Day….Now get you ass back to work!! You have already spent too much unproductive time reading this mandatory Memo.

Did You Know?

Here is a very sobering video clip with information that will make people in the U.S. realize that it is not our world anymore.


Your comments and thoughts, much like John Nash's, "Game Theory" is to be entertained to identify all the scenarios and how they would play out.

Kent State May 4, 2010

Today, black pillars mark four sites on the east side of Kent State University, each memorializing one of the four college students killed by the Ohio National Guard during antiwar protests on May 4, 1970.

To commemorate today's anniversary, the university will host about a dozen speakers, including John Filo, the Pulitzer Prize-winning photographer of the famous image of 14 year old Mary Ann Vecchio kneeling over Jeffrey Miller's body just after the shooting; Russ Miller, Jeffrey's brother; and Florence Schroeder, the mother of another student who was killed, William Schroeder.


Below are those to be remembered.

Killed by the Ohio National Guard:
Jeffrey Glenn Miller; age 20, shot through the mouth and killed instantly.
Allison B. Krause; age 19, fatal left chest wound and died later that day.
William Knox Schroeder; age 19, fatal chest wound and died an hour later in hospital while waiting for surgery.
Sandra Lee Scheuer; age 20, fatal neck wound and died a few minutes later from loss of blood.
Wounded by the National Guard:
Joseph Lewis Jr.; hit twice in the right abdomen and left lower leg.
John R. Cleary; upper left chest wound.
Thomas Mark Grace; struck in left ankle.
Alan Michael Canfora; hit in his right wrist.
Dean R. Kahler; back wound fracturing the vertebrae and permanently paralyzed from the chest down.
Douglas Alan Wrentmore; hit in his right knee.
James Dennis Russell; hit in his right thigh from a bullet and in the right forehead by birdshot and both wounds minor (died 2007).
Robert Follis Stamps; hit in his right buttock (died June 11, 2008).
Donald Scott MacKenzie; neck wound.

David Crosby, Stephen Stills, Graham Nash, and Neil Young made the event a historical note with the song, “Ohio,” and continues on in remembrance today with Nickelback’s, “If Everyone Cared.”

Please take a time of silence and reflection of remembrance while playing the clip below.
