The Last Evacuation Drill‏; Just for laugh

got this email forwarded to me recently.....just sharing


In a large multinational company......

The fire alarm rang at 4 PM in a large office when almost all
employees were still inside the office building (approx.5,000 of them).
As usual the entire office was evacuated within 3 minutes and all
employees gathered outside the office in the designated area waiting
for further announcement.

The Security Officer-in-charge made the following announcement:

"Dear employees - with sincere regret I have been asked to announce
that for many of you, it will be your last evacuation drill. Due to
the recession, the company is laying off almost 50% of its employees.
So when this announcement finishes, I ask all of you to move back into
the building and if your swipe card does not work then it means you
have been laid off in which case you will not be allowed inside and
all your belongings will be couriered to you by tomorrow.

The Company has used this innovative approach as we didn't want to
fill up the email inbox with lay-off mails and good-bye mails in
thousands, and also to avoid any fight inside the office and the
consequent security issue for all staff.

Hope you have had a rewarding career with us and all the best ahead.

Please move back in and try your luck."

Eh.....some information to note... should there be a fire alarm....do evacuate the building immediately!
We wouldn't want someone to be "roast alive"

Though if that really happened - those guys who did that are smart, but could be viewed as devious by those who are being affected. That would probably have upset them even more... could be a riot really. :P
