Below is the detail of an e-mail I received from a friend. Could this be true or is it a new urban myth?

 

 

THIS IS TRUE AND TOOK PLACE IN SINGAPORE

 

A fire alarm, in a large office building, rang at 4 p.m. when almost all of the company's 500 employees were at work.

As usual in such circumtances the entire office was evacuated within 3 mins & every employee gathered outside.

Nothing happened for ten minutes or so and there was no evidence of a fire.

Then the firms Security Officer made an announcement ...

"Dear employees, with melting heart I am making this announcement that for many of you will be your last fire evacuation drill. Due to the recession the company are laying off almost fifty percent of staff. When you move back into the building some of you will discover that your swipe passcard will no longer give you access to the office. If you are among those laid off, go home and all your belongings will be couriered to you tomorrow. The management took this approach to save on overloading the email system with layoff notifications and goodbye messages and also to avoid any violent outbursts inside the office. Hope you have a nice career ahead ... please move forward and try your swipe card."

LOL just nip in after someone whose card does work :D :rofl:

lol, could well be true!

Maybe they should have done that at the bmw mini plant near me.

One of my mates works there, they gave all the temps 1hrs notice!

AFTER they had got into work, apparantly 17 mini's needed new

engines (screws in air intakes), various screwdriver stabs in dashboards, roofs, body panels etc!

thats brilliant!

thats brilliant!

 

I bet the employees did'nt think so lol

LOL just nip in after someone whose card does work :D :rofl:

Only in somewhere like Singapore they could get away with an idea like that! awesome
