Micro-Management at the office

I recently hired a new software developer who shared this enlightening memo from his previous employer (a DotCom).  Enjoy!

Popcorn Popper and Hot Dog machine

We now have a Popcorn Popping machine and a Hot Dog machine in the kitchen.  Do not pop popcorn or cook hot dogs without permission.  We are going to limit operation of the machines to a few individuals with knowledge of their operation and ability to maintain the equipment.

Popcorn popper rules:

1. Always use the scoop and never leave the scoop in the popper.
2. Never use your hands to scoop the popcorn.
3. If you drop any popcorn on the floors, please pick it up.

Hot Dog machine rules:

We will generally cook hot dogs and chili twice a week (Tuesdays and Thursdays).  Any leftovers will be heated up in the microwave or crock pot the following day.  The hot dog machine will only be used when the company is providing lunch and cannot be used on an individual basis.

1. Use the tongs not your hands when retrieving a hot dog.

Finally, please make sure to clean up any mess that you make.

Sincerely,

Chief Executive Officer
