I’d like you to see an email that I received this past Thursday.  I’m removing the name and company to protect the ‘not-so-innocent’……I’m really not even sure what to say except…I hope you were able to leave work early, hit a patio and ‘cheers’ your friends for NOT having this person as a manager.  If you do, I invite you to listen on your own time.  We understand.  Please feel free to post a comment…maybe your friends work for this person?? send’em the link.

Have a lovely, safe long weekend!

Use ‘grinch’ as an extra bonus code.

 Hello,

As a listener, who also is in a management position at work, I for one would appreciate it if perhaps you didn’t encourage people to take time off during good weather, or play hookie from work for personal pleasurable reasons. etc.  Many employees seem to need no reason whatsoever to do as little as possible as it is and need no encouragement in that area. This past winter every time it snowed, and it did often, people couldn’t make it out of their driveways or there was a blizzard on their street, and planned ahead of time, based on weather forecasts not to come to work, to call in sick when not sick. This is taking a salary under false pretenses. 

All businesses need at least a minimum staff to keep operating, at a profit, in order to succeed. If staff doesn’t show up, business is lost, profits are down, or non-existent, the business could fail, and the employees would have no jobs.  A job is a commitment on both sides. Employees are given their rightful legal holidays, as well as paid holidays during the year, and take time as well.

If you continue to encourage playing hookie, we’ll have to disallow your station to be played in the office in favour of another station that does not practice this, which would be a shame because we do enjoy the music you play.

Thanks for listening.
