Yeah of course..uh.. Randall was it? Rodney?

Anyways, boss I've been looking over my quarterly budget and I noticed there's this really big number next to "salaries". I looked it up and turns out that's what we pay people to work here. I'm thinking if we pay them less we'll make that number smaller and I'll have more money to spend putting a chandelier in my office.

We aren't being bought out by Company B we are joining forces. We look forward to meshing our cultures and expect 100% buy in from all associates. Don't think of it as being laid off or receiving a pay cut, think about it as providing value to our consumer base. We'll be boots on the ground at your location with our Synergy TeamŽ and we look forward to meeting with you.

Hahaha, look at this jokester! I know you're new to the team, but we like to run a tight ship around here and we value our associates with competitive salaries and incentive programs. Why, just this year the executive team plans on increasing bonuses for all employees by 5% (on a per tenure, performance, seniority, and funding availability basis)! Now, to maintain competitiveness we are going to adjust salaries a bit to focus on that bonus incentive plan! This plan is effective IMMEDIATELY, however as noted in a previous bulletin, there will be no bonuses this year as of yet. But we're forward looking, and we know the bonus will be an even bigger driver of engagement for our associates!

Did you clear this with HR, our IT team, and find a replacement for your shift? So long as you follow the proscribed guidelines and protocols, I see no reason we can't allow you to use a few 4 hour blocks for time off. Remember, this is unpaid as it is not sick time so plan accordingly!

Since they renamed the Christmas Party to Holiday Party I'd like to see floor staff 100% funding their own party this year, instead of 85%. Perhaps they could hold some bake sales and "pass the hat" so to speak. Those seemed popular last year. Anyways, whatever they need to do to worship their heathen gods. Also, increasing the size of executive desk globes by 10% practically guarantees productivity increasing by same. I'll be at the club later tonight if you want to discuss.

This is a great idea! What a great cost cutting measure here!

Going forward, all party and holiday related expenditures will be funded exclusively by the party planning committees of each respective departments. Get those dollars out for jeans day!

I spoke with Richard over in publishing at the club last night. His department has an overstock of "motivational" posters printed during a fad a few years ago. He was pretty distraught about it so I came up with a solution. Have department head access petty cash funds to purchase the posters and present them as awards to mid and top performers. The posters awarded will then be used to decorate their spaces and breakrooms. A general crunching of the numbers shows me this will provide a motivational boost of about 3.9% and productivity boost of .69%. And the publishing department should have a banner quarter. If you need me I'll be at the beach retreat house this weekend.

Not a bad move, King, not a bad move. We'll be sure to use petty cash on these, but we also have to charge full retail for them. These are technically "festivity" related so we'll have the associate funded party planning committees chip in for these.

I looked at the books and I know the stakeholder hunting lodge is a write off but you know who has been reserving a lot of time up there, and you know who has some pretty substantial charges on the corporate card for "Toilet Boys, Inc." an entertainment company near the lodge. I recommend giving the department heads rental weekend options which will surely book the place solid, see a profit stream off the books, and "kill two birds with one stone" if you know what I mean. I'll be heading up there next week to inspect damages. Let me know if you want to come. If there's any "entertainers" hanging around our lodge we can hunt "the most dangerous game.'

Great news everyone! Despite our most recent set backs due to over zealous regulators and an attempt by the District Attorney to cut our legs out from under us, we'll be back in business! Now, you may have noticed we have a lot of new people in the office, and rest assured, this is a GOOD THING! They are our Foreign Exchange Interns and will be helping us transition into a leaner, meaner, more competitive machine! Granted, we had to close our South West Regional office and there have been some unfortunate separations from the company, we are still going into the final quarter of 2015! Remember, we showed a profit last quarter and everyone eligible received those promised bonuses!

With our Foreign Exchange Interns we hope to foster a closer relationship with our friends across the sea. Welcome them to your team as if they've always been there! They will be learning your specializations so they can take the skills they learn back to their home country and foster cultural exchange! While we retain a strict privacy policy and passwords shouldn't be shared, if these Interns need access to a tool or information, so long as they have an ID badge they are allowed full access. (This access does NOT extend to the gym, cafeteria, or parking privileges!) This will be our first stage of integration with them, the second stage is to be announced.

If you have any questions, please direct them to Kelly, our newly promoted HR Director!

Oh Gays, I'm so sorry.

Also since you are no longer an employee of Revised Corporate Group LTD. your vehicle is now illegally parked on private property and has been towed. You will also have to forfeit your cafeteria bonus card immediately. Best of luck to you.
