Who Shot HR?

(to read the full letter, right-click and open in a new window or tab to zoom in)

Human Resources speaks!  I have never gotten a response from them so quickly before. I once contacted them about a suspicious smell coming through the vents last year and they only just sent someone to inspect the first floor offices last Thursday.  I was convinced it was Legionnaire's and this was Management's not-so-subtle way of getting rid of some of the higher paid staff, but the workmen insisted it was just a rotting, half-eaten burrito the janitors missed (or more likely left behind).

I don't know what I was expecting. And the letter's not even spell-checked!  Statuettes instead of statutes? Must-fire instead of must-hire?  I'm not even sure "untowardity" is an actual word.  And leave it to them to put the blame of all of this on me! I'm not the one wasting company stationery to antagonize.  What did I do to deserve any of this unwarranted attention from a co-worker? I mean, I get it: I am--let's face it--amazing at my job. So what if it looks like I spend my day lounging around and chatting with my fellow man? Should I be penalized for a devil-may-care attitude, winning smile, and need for a generous inseam?  That just means my work is done and with style. If I'm running around screaming unnecessarily like the other morons around here, that's the real time to panic.

As for the pittance I can roll-over into my even smaller 401K, I'm going to use that to buy a churro with which I can bribe the security guard to let me into HR and leave a few choice Post-Its of my own.

  1. Hate "corporate" situations; so unfair...
    Not sure what kind of help you'd be interested in; it's worth looking at this as an option...

  2. (Had to squint to read this...)

    So they 'launched an immediate investigation' which they concluded before the next paragraph? I don't understand why they don't want to get involved, what am I missing?

  3. Ok, I failed to read the caption, hence the squinting.

  4. What jerks! Are they saying that you being harassed by a co-worker (death threats, etc) is your tough luck because you waited more than 10 days to report it?

    I'd love to see them try to claim that before a jury of human beings.
