I make a suggestion?
|
|
My company has an
online suggestion system that employees use to submit ideas
in order to make the company a better place to work. Here’s
a suggestion I found kinda funny. I actually can’t believe
this person had the gonads to post this because the submissions
aren’t anonymous, they’re free for the whole company
to see. They must have just received their pink slip and decided
to go out with a blaze of glory. |

| Suggestion: |
| It would be nice to
have little fountains with rocks throughout the office. Also paint
the walls hunter green with white trim and have a earthtone plush
carpet. It would be good also to get white wicker desks and branches
throughout office with some live butterflies (like Cypress Gardens
has) And a large lit aquarium with pretty big fish. The coolest
part would be a large perch near my desk with a peach parrot that
says “welcome to ‘company name’”. The
door could be propped open with a welcome mat outside. The employees
could be allowed a spontaneous 20 minute nap a day and a different
snack each day for their hard work. Menu example: foot long hot
dogs one day, cookies and beverage another day, ice cream sundaes
another day and the list goes on. If this or some of these ideas
were implemented we would have a stress free workplace resulting
in better attendance, performance and increased revenue. Just
a thought |

| And here’s HR’s
responce: |
| I didn’t route this to a
business unit for response since it seemed more of a Girls Just
Wanna Have Fun submission. I was amused by the recommendations
but concerned that possibly a very stressful event had prompted
you to send this as a way to relieve some of the stress. The environment
you describe would indeed be utopia and if such a workplace exists,
they’re obviously keeping it a secret to prevent the world
from applying. Hope things are going well for you today and you
might take some solace in the fact that you don’t have cold,
miserable rain such as we’re having here in the Midwest. |
