West Media Internal Memo
Dear Valued Employees,
We’re two weeks away from our prep-ceremony for this year’s office party.
As such, I’d like to publicly thank the anonymous group of executive employees who decided to give me an early present: A month’s worth of “psychological therapy” and a full collection of Horrible Boss films with the “This is how you make us feel” note.
I find this revelation quite shocking and unfortunate.
No other boss in this city offers the full range of benefits & high salaries that I do.
No other C.E.O. is willing to spend millions of his profit to give his employees a very generous holiday vacation.
That said, I’ve decided to make a few changes to our mandatory event this year, so we can perhaps get on the same page about what your “feelings” mean to me.
This year’s Office Party will span three weeks. No excused absences.
As always, I look forward to seeing you at the prep–ceremony, where our travel partner will reveal this year’s destination for our all-expenses-paid work retreat.
Be sure to bring along whatever gift you purchased for your coworker(s) via our company’s Secret Santa tradition.
Sincerely,
Garrett West
C.E.O., West Media International
P.S. You did this to yourselves…
