Sean rocks! (and stuupid mangment)(language)

[Tama]

Title misspelled on purpose!

See, once in a while management at Mal-Mart will hand out memos about one thing or another. WIC changes; things like that.

This latest one was about not standing around to clock out on the dot and such.

Its errors were so massive I cannot even begin to list them all.

Here are two examples (verbatim!):

"You are not to clock in go to your lockers, the breakroom, restroom an stop to talk to everyone you konw"

"You may not wait until the time on the dot the clock"

Seriously...what...the....fuck? Grammar and spelling resemble utter SHIT.

But the reason for posting HERE is not this, but a co-worker, "Sean"'s reaction.

Sean is a large, quiet sort of guy. Though yesterday when I showed this memo to him, he seemed to get quietly angry.

"I'm taking this to 'Jeff' (our store manager)," he said, "I told him when I was hired I don't like working for stupid people!"

He said that. He actually said that!! Kudos, Sean, I wouldn't have your stones to do that sort of thing!

Umm, so are you sure that that is what the memo was trying to say?

In Sean's case I would almost say that I couldn't understand the memo because of the errors.

Can you let us know the rest of the story, if there is more?

Also, kudos to Sean!

Feck it - if the memo is that badly written it could mean absolutely anything. Carry on as normal!

In Sean's case I would almost say that I couldn't understand the memo because of the errors.

I think the memo was saying "Clock in after you change, and don't waste time before starting (after clocking in)

Also, please do not wait until the nanosecond before your shift starts to clock in."
