Work *****

Jul 02, 2008 04:54PM - 2 comments

I just think this is stupid, would love to hear what people think about it. I work for a large corporation. A trash company to be exact. We have company e-mail which can customize to fit our personalities. For the last two years, i have had a PUN or play on words in my signature line that reads, "Talkin' TRASH like we've never talked TRASH before." Cute right? Just got a write up from my boss, who reluctantly did it only because someone, meaning a co-worker as i do not e-mail customers or clients, reported it to corporate as "offensive" and "not portraying a positive company image". RETARDED!!! This is coming from a company that prints and distributes t-shirts, mugs, mousepads, cups, calendars, etc with the logo, "Have you hugged your trashman today?" Do you think i could get them for "offending me" by suggesting that i hug a man that i do not know? haha!! I deleted the line and will not be replacing it. Just think it is kind of funny how literal people take things these days. Are we really coming to a day where a quality play on words is no longer appreciated?? Sad, very sad.

Your signature line fits your employer, and because you thought it cute, it fits your personality.  I can't imagine someone finding fault with it, especially in view of the company's merchandising.  There's so many somber attitudes out there as it is.  Instead of finding fault, your boss should stick up for you and give you some kind of award for displaying company spirit.  And I ain't just talkin' trash!
