New Workplace Rules
While I could argue with that, I wholeheartedly agree with what follows - ten new company workplace rules (at least when Norman owns the company). Here are a few.
Aren't these great? I've left the best ones out, though, so follow the above link to check them out.

New Workplace Rules
You may have seen the story about the company who has decided its employees can't smoke and will now test them for nicotine. Several people have quit and if there hasn't already been a lawyer filing a lawsuit, wait less time than a Blog Explosion surf, and there will be.

2. No surfing of unnecessary sites on the Internet (Like this one!). However, any good porn sites should be reported immediately. and,
1. Sexual harassment will not be tolerated. Er, what I mean is if I make inappropriate sexual comments, gestures, or actions, you are not to consider it harassment. Think of it as a perk.
