Manic Moore Posted February 23, 2009 Report Posted February 23, 2009 This is what a large business in Singapore did recently -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- If the fire alarm goes off,...............stay where you are. ------------------------------------------------------------ Subject: A recent Evacuation Drill in a Singapore business... A friend in Singapore sent this today. ------------------------------------------------------------ A fire alarm rang at 4 PM when almost all shift employees are in office (approx 5000). As usual entire office was evacuated within 3 mins and every employee gathered outside office. 10 mins passed..................................5 more mins passed. Security Officer started Announcement: "Dear Employees - With melting heart I am making this announcement that for many of you it will be a last evacuation drill. Due to the recession we are laying off almost 50% of employees. If your ID card does not work anymore, then you are among those laid off and all your belongings will be couriered to you tomorrow. We followed this approach as we didn't want to fill email box size with layoff mails and good bye mails in thousands. We also wanted to avoid any fights inside the office. Hope you have a nice career ahead, please move in and try your luck". I think "your fired" would have worked! Quote
