There is nothing&lt;br /&gt;you can do for dead friends, relatives or co-workers. Every&lt;br /&gt;effort should be made to have non-employees attend the&lt;br /&gt;funeral arrangements in your place. In rare cases where&lt;br /&gt;employee involvement is necessary, the funeral should be&lt;br /&gt;scheduled in the late afternoon. We will be glad to&lt;br /&gt;allow you to work through your lunch hour and&lt;br /&gt;subsequently leave one hour early.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Bathroom Breaks:&lt;br /&gt;Entirely too much time is being spent in the toilet.&lt;br /&gt;There is now a strict three-minute time limit in the&lt;br /&gt;stalls. At the end of three minutes, an alarm will&lt;br /&gt;sound, the toilet paper roll will retract, the stall&lt;br /&gt;door will open, and a picture will be taken. After your&lt;br /&gt;second offense, your picture will be posted on the&lt;br /&gt;company bulletin board under the 'Chronic Offenders'&lt;br /&gt;category. Anyone caught smiling in the picture will be&lt;br /&gt;sectioned under the company's mental health policy.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Lunch Break:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;* Skinny people get 30 minutes for lunch, as they need&lt;br /&gt;to eat more, so that they can look healthy.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;* Normal size people get 15 minutes for lunch to get a&lt;br /&gt;balanced meal to maintain their average figure.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;* Chubby people get 5 minutes for lunch, because that's&lt;br /&gt;all the time needed to drink a Slim-Fast.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Thank you for your loyalty to our company.
