Office Communication (or lack there of) At Its Finest!

Since reproducing company correspondences could in fact lead to my immediete "dismissal" I have changed and deleted a lot of the information that accompanied these emails, but believe you me, I have not changed anything in regards to actual text. This email chain really happend today . . .

Hi Sarah:

Did you write a communication letter for the ******** Bottles? This would be a letter for NEW customers. I have not seen it in any emails yet.

Thanks!

1. This is the continuity letter, which will require Non Communicado's final approval before sending to the printer. If Legal had no changes, then it should be good to go. Let’s send that out today.

2. I’m looking for the “communication letter” (terribly confusing naming convention going on here)…let’s call it the “welcome letter” for new customers…

a) Has it been written?

b) If so, what’s the status

c) If not, we need to do it ASAP. Deadline is 10/9

Since this is for [ name of failing product] we are not currently doing any acquisitions for [ name of failing product] we do not need a new welcome letter.

Why I Like My Boss

The Creative Director, who oversees all designer and editorial operations sent out a company email to the creative department with the subject heading: OMG! WTF!

This is what was inside:

Announcement

It has taken much deliberation, both on my part and on that of my cohorts, I mean co-workers, and we have reached our final answer. We are going to be Fanta Girls for the Halloween Office party.

We have much work to do in preparation. More to come on this.
