attention all employees:
it has been brought to our attention that there are no coffee stirrers left in the break rooms on three of our four floors. we would like to be very clear about this: the free coffee, cups, sugar, and stirrers that we provide is what we like to think of as one of the "intangible" benefits of being a part of the winkyshock team. we make careful estimates at the beginning of each quarter of how many stirrers will be used per employee per day, and although we are not able to go into specifics, we consider the number we come up with to be very generous, to say the least. therefore, if everyone were playing fair, there would still be an ample supply of coffee stirrers for everyone. therefore, we can only conclude that some person or persons is or are excessivley using - or more appropriately - abusing, the provided coffee stirrer supply. therefore, our response to the requests for coffee stirrers can only be that we've held up our end of the bargain, and now all employees must hold up their own ends. the stirrer supply will be replenished according to the originally determined replenishment schedule, and no sooner. in the meantime, we hope this "tough love" will encourage all employees to work together to find alternate solutions to their challenges, and will encourage teamwork by encouraging employees to start working more like a team.
