Memo
ReplyDeleteTo The Employees,
It has come to my notice, that some of the employees are involved in activities contrary to company rules. Some of them are involved in partying inside office premises. These activities are not encouraged. Anyone involved in such activities will be inspected through webcams, telephone conversations. They will be given one chance to concede and deter from such activities, failing which will lead to sustained punishment of transitioning to lower positions.
Employees are requested to make note of it and act accordingly.
Regards,
Manager.

This has been disclosed that some of the employees were involved in contrary activities during the office working hours means they were caught partying in office in my abscence. As you all know how conservative our boss is and this transition is never accepted. These activites deter other hard working employes also and it is difficult to sustain concentration in such enviorment. I denounce these activities and i want you all to concede your mistake and write an aplogy letter to the boss.
