Exhibit A, from an email sent to the department:
"Please stop by the Glen Burnie conference room at your convenience on Friday, January 7th from 1- 3pm to have your photo taken for our new website. You will be photographed from the shoulders up, so please wear a collared shirt.
The website will feature a special success stories section devoted to you and your clients. Some of you have already submitted your clients� stories, now we want to know yours! Attached is a brief survey about coaching we�d like you to fill out and bring with you to the photo shoot on Friday. If you have a client who is going to be featured on the website, you will be asked additional questions on Friday about your client�s success."
Yesterday afternoon, I overheard one rep say to another, "So what are you wearing for picture day?" Ann wants to know whether they're handing out shiny new plastic combs.
Exhibit B, from a company newsletter, discussing how to stay fit and healthy during the party season:
"As the party host, plan an activity to get your guests moving around the room-create a broad jump game. Place a piece of tape on the floor and have everyone make a two-footed jump straight ahead. Entice your guests with a prize for the person with the longest jump. If necessary, have a separate game for men and women"
Chel's response? "I can only imagine a party with some of the people who work here. Someone could get seriously hurt"
