I'm PA-less at the moment (she is off sick) and have just caused general hysterics by sending out a report containing the statement:

"The Senior Management Team places considerable emphasis on collaborative porking..."

Can't have just been a typing mistake when "w" and "p" are at opposite ends of the keyboard..

Fraid so. Came to the same conclusion myself. Youve read it twice on the net now, so it must be true

In a previous place of work, I had to ask the MD to send out an email internally to crack down on employees browsing porn due to complaints from HR.

His email contained the following sentence:

'I will come hard on anyone caught browsing porn'

Maybe I should have written the mail for him. That was a real coffee on keyboard moment.

hhmm looks at how faraway "P" is from "w"

Can I ask a question.Do you as a senior manager actualy beleive statements like this are read by underlings who all of a sudden go "damn, thats brilliant lets all work together I never thought of that"?

Allways wondered as Im contatntly bombarded by stuff like this.
