Labor Party

Subject: A Few Updates

To Our Valued Employees,

We hope you and your families are preparing for a relaxing and rejuvenating Labor Day Weekend. We know this season can feel overwhelming for many with children going back to school, college move-ins, and of course the end of our trial Summer Friday Happy Hour program (as communicated previously, excessive intoxication in the office is never appropriate, and so we will be returning to our alcohol-free policy come next year).

And to Colleen, we all must say: Why did you do it? Our operations team’s diligent and careful work organizing tasteful gatherings for our entire organization will be forever marred by your decision to add Everclear to the punch bowl at the supposed encouragement of others (“basically everyone,” to use your words). We sincerely apologize to those employees asked to call their spouses or teenage children to transport them home, and especially those forced to sleep in the break room. While it was no doubt a night we will never forget, it is one us on the leadership team wish never happened at all.

Unfortunately, we must send our well wishes to the multiple employees who left us no choice but to terminate their employment. While suggestions about improving workplace conditions are always welcome, such feedback need be communicated through appropriate channels. This does not include shouting at direct supervisors and reports alike, particularly in a group setting.

And to Colleen, we do not wish you a happy Labor Day Weekend. We wish you a lifetime of dull, sober labor, forever.

All best,

Carl
