Sleeping Giant (OP) User ID: 23781418 United States 12/14/2012 08:13 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Company Memo FROM: Patty Lewis, Human Resources Director TO: All Employees DATE: Dec. 2, 2009 RE: Gala Holiday Party In no way was yesterday's memo intended to exclude our Jewish employees. We recognize that Hanukkah is an important holiday, which often coincides with Christmas, though unfortunately not this year. However, from now on, we're calling it our "Holiday Party." The same policy applies to any other employees who are not Christians and to those still celebrating Reconciliation Day. There will be no Christmas tree and no Christmas carols will be sung. We will have other types of music for your enjoyment. Happy now? Happy Holidays to you and your family, Patty Last Edited by Sleeping Giant on 12/14/2012 08:15 AM Wake up, oh sleeper, and rise from the dead, and Christ will shine on you |
Sleeping Giant (OP) User ID: 23781418 United States 12/14/2012 08:14 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Company Memo FROM: Patty Lewis, Human Resources Director TO: All Employees DATE: Dec. 3, 2009 RE: Holiday Party Regarding the note I received from a member of Alcoholics Anonymous requesting a non-drinking table, you didn't sign your name. I'm happy to accommodate this request, but if I put a sign on a table that reads, "AA Only", you wouldn't be anonymous anymore. How am I supposed to handle this? Somebody? And sorry, but forget about the gift exchange, no gifts are allowed since the union members feel that $10.00 is too much money and the executives believe $10.00 is a little chintzy. REMEMBER: NO GIFTS EXCHANGE WILL BE ALLOWED. Last Edited by Sleeping Giant on 12/14/2012 08:15 AM Wake up, oh sleeper, and rise from the dead, and Christ will shine on you |

I had no idea that December 20th begins the Muslim holy month of Ramadan, which forbids eating and drinking during daylight hours. There goes the party! Seriously, we can appreciate how a luncheon at this time of year does not accommodate our Muslim employees' beliefs. Perhaps the Grill House can hold off on serving your meal until the end of the party or else package everything for you to take it home in little foil doggy baggy. Will that work? Meanwhile, I've arranged for members of Weight Watchers to sit farthest from the dessert buffet, and pregnant women will get the table closest to the restrooms. Gays are allowed to sit with each other. Lesbians do not have to sit with Gay men, each group will have their own table. Yes, there will be flower arrangement for the Gay men's table. To the person asking permission to cross dress, the Grill House asks that no cross-dressing be allowed, apparently because of concerns about confusion in the restrooms. Sorry. We will have booster seats for short people. Low-fat food will be available for those on a diet. I am sorry to report that we cannot control the amount of salt used in the food. The Grill House suggests that people with high blood pressure taste a bite first. There will be fresh "low sugar" fruits as dessert for diabetics, but the restaurant cannot supply "no sugar" desserts. Sorry! Did I miss anything?!?!?

We're going to keep this party at the Grill House whether you like it or not, so you can sit quietly at the table furthest from the "grill of death," as you so quaintly put it, and you'll get your f*%^ing salad bar, including organic tomatoes. But you know, tomatoes have feelings, too. They scream when you slice them. I've heard them scream. I'm hearing them scream right NOW! The rest of you f*%^ing weirdoes can kiss my *ss. I hope you all have a rotten holiday! Drive drunk and die, The B*tch from H*ll!!!

Quoting: davvi :nav1: Yep, you can't please everyone, the world is too diverse.... But, by trying to not offend certain groups, you offend other groups.

Resister User ID: 669410 United States 12/14/2012 09:54 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Merry Christmas! "God forbid we should ever be 20 years without such a rebellion. The people cannot be all, & always, well informed... If they remain quiet under such misconceptions it is a lethargy, the forerunner of death to the public liberty... Let them take arms... What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots & tyrants. " - Thomas Jefferson in 1787 |

*HEISENBERG* User ID: 28152425 United States 12/14/2012 12:29 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | A perfect example of the type of mentality that drives me INSANE!! Quoting: *HEISENBERG* Merry CHRISTmas everyone! And many Happy Generic Seasonal Greetings to you as well! No that's fine, people can call it what they want. I'm talking about going overboard trying not to offend anyone. It ends up ruining everything. People like to whine and complain no matter how you try and accommodate them. Never will everyone be happy. So if you want a CHRISTmas party, then have a CHRISTmas party and not worry about whiny people. If you want to have a generic seasonal holiday party, then have at. |

There will be a cash bar and plenty of drinks! We'll have a small band playing traditional carols... feel free to sing along. And don't be surprised if our CEO shows up dressed as Santa Claus! A Christmas tree will be lit at 1:00 PM. Exchanges of gifts among employees can be done at that time; however, no gift should be over $10.00 to make the giving of gifts easy for everyone's pockets. This gathering is only for employees! Our CEO will make a special announcement at that time! Merry Christmas to you and your family, Patty OP, I've seen this before, funny stuff! Thanks for posting.
