Cualquier parecido con la realidad es pura coincidencia.

TO: ALL EMPLOYEES

SUBJECT: SICK LEAVE POLICY
SICKNESS:

No excuses. We will no longer accept your doctor's statement as proof.
We believe that if you are able to go to the doctor, you are able to
come to work.

SURGERY:
We are no longer allowing this practice. We wish to discourage any
thoughts that you may need surgery. We believe that as long as you are
an employee here, you will need all of whatever you have, and should not
consider having anything removed. We hired you as you are, and to have
anything removed would  certainly make you less than we bargained for.

DEATH (OTHER THAN YOUR OWN):
This is no excuse for missing work. There is nothing you can do for
them, and we are sure that someone else can attend to the arrangements.
However, if the funeral can be held in the late afternoon, we will be
glad to allow you to work through your lunch  hour and subsequently let
you leave one  hour early, provided your share of the work is ahead
enough to keep the job going in your absence.

DEATH (YOUR OWN):
This will be accepted as an excuse. However, we require at least two
weeks notice as we feel it is your duty to train your replacement.

MISCELLANEOUS:
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,
those whose names begin with 'A' will go from 8:00 to 8:15, and so on.
If you're unable to go at your time, it will be necessary to wait until
the next day when your time comes again.  We appreciate your
cooperation,
