Details of the items stolen remain sketchy at this time. While
people were glad to see the back of some of the abstract pieces, the
loss of three pictures of
Thumper from Bambi is another matter. Staff are distraught at the
purloining of this playful piece and a productivity dip is feared. "It
made me smile every day" a tear-stained marketeer told iContact.
The perpetrator was captured on CCTV footage making his escape in an
unmarked white van. The vehicle was later found abandoned in the
affluent suburb of Dalkey. It is not known how the thief made his
escape from here.
If you recognise the man in the photo or have any other information
that may prove useful in their enquiries, please keep it to yourself.

HR Need to Read: Management -
Stock Options
HR have been inundated with questions from managers about stock
options and retention bonuses.
Number of stock options
If you feel you don't have enough stock options then you have
just been giving too many to your employees. Why didn't you follow
the example of the SMT and keep the vast majority for yourself?
Options Above Water
Particularly for those of you who were hired recently or joined
via an acquisition. If you have plenty of options but they are
priced above $4.05 and are thus worthless, we suggest you try one
of the following:
- Throw a tantrum
- Threaten to quit unless you get them repriced or get a big
fat pay rise.
- Try drowning them in water

Waltham Employees: Mystery Object
As
many of you may know we have bi-monthly refrigerator cleanings here in
Waltham. The cleaning people ask us to place and an orange sticker to
anything that we don’t want thrown out.
However, it has come to the attention of Waltham facilities that
several items have been in the refrigerator with an orange sticker for
several cleaning cycles. One item in particular has been here for
several years and is starting to, in their words, ‘smell a bit funky’.
They’ve asked that the owner of said item please come forward and claim
it or else it will be thrown out with the next cleaning. back to top
