Suggest THIS.

Subject: The new Suggestion Box

Hi All,

As I'm sure you are all aware, over the past month we have introduced a new suggestion box. The intention of this was to let you all put forward any ideas you have which might benefit the company or your productivity. Or just to point out those little things that can make all the difference. As it is getting near the end of the month, I thought it was about time to open up the box and see what suggestions have been put in there.

I am pleased to say that there have already been a number of great suggestions in this short time. These things include an upgrade to the video conferencing set-up in Meeting Room 1. This was being considered anyway, but we shall now be going ahead with it. Also in consideration is Dress Up Friday, either every week or the last Friday of every month . A few of the lesser important suggestions will be discussed at the next managers meeting.

I would also like to add that this is an important opportunity and one that should be taken seriously. I say this because there were a number of you that thought it would be funny to put in a few “joke” suggestions. A few of which happen to be in-front of me at this moment are “Pirate Wednesday”, “Bra-less Monday”, “Upgrading the computer system to the same one God used to create the Universe” and one which simply reads “MOAR INTERWEBZ”.

Since these were anonymous I cannot blame anyone directly, though I shall try my hardest to find the culprits. You are just wasting my time and everyone else’s that helps read through the suggestions. For the majority of you that did put in sensible ideas, we thank you.

Tom Jones

You may want to re-read your emails before sending them next time. I think you mean Dress Down day and not Dress Up. Or are we supposed to come to work in Panto outfits on Friday?

If we have to come to work dressed up, I quit. I didn’t sign up for this job to become a suit.

I’ll bet Tom shot down Bra-less Monday because he doesn’t want to lose support for even one day of the week. LOL

I suppose you thought my idea for upgrading the computer system to the one God used to create the universe as a joke. Seriously. This T1 line SUCKS.

You’re on thin ice, Joe. You could have just said “Upgrade to a CAT line.”

I could have, but I didn’t.
