I’m normally not the littering type, but something about this mess of bullet points makes me want to upend the nearest trash can and just go absolutely apeshit. (And how was your holiday, boss?)

I”m going to assume Makky D’s is the same as Mickey D’s (McDonald’s) over here in the US?

Why would anyone center align a bulleted list?

Even worse than the center aligned bullets, and the Capitalization Of Every Word, I think is the fact that somewhere along the line this note veers drastically off course.
The bit about ‘Your good attitude will be noted’ raised an eyebrow, but ‘Remember your line manager is in the office’ just seems blantantly unrelated.

Didn’t I see “Your Good Attitude Will Be Noted” and “We Are All Here To Help” posters at the Ministry of Information in “Brazil”?

I wonder how much time was taken to compose this list? Was it a major task?
I am reminded of mission statements that came down from our betters. Those were useless and quickly forgotten.

Hey boss, I’m trying to decide whether to shove this note down your throat or up your ass. I heard you could help with that.

Looks like someone just discovered the bullet key and the caps shift key. And being a conscientious person she kept going until she filled the entire page, wouldn’t want any paper to go to waste!

Manohman! Things like this list, and all the other office related notes, make me incredibly happy I have never worked in an office. Yes, I had to deal with some prize asses in my job, but why do office workers appear to be a breed apart? Not to mention a breed any sane person would not want to be a part of.

This note isn’t very PA, but it IS very annoying.

The use of the royal we in a PA note just adds to the delish.

I know a website that if you tried to post something in all capitals it would publish it with the first letter of each word capitalized instead. For the longest time I thought a particular poster was doing it himself and it was driving me crazy. I sent him a PM (passive-aggressive style of course) asking him why he went to the extra trouble of capitalizing each letter. He said he didn’t do that and didn’t know why it showed up like that at the website. Finally found out from another source that it was the website converting his all caps writing to first letter caps. I then PM’d him asking him why did he
write in all caps. He didn’t realize that was bad form.

These people probably need help with their TPS reports.
