German IT Outfit Bans Whining

Posted by ScuttleMonkey on from the one-more-moan-and-yer-out dept.

theodp writes "German IT outfit Nutzwerk Ltd has come up with the perfect solution to whining in the workplace - it's made cheerfulness a contractual obligation, advising those who don't measure up to the prescribed level of jollity in the morning to stay at home until they cheer up. The plan was prompted by a female employee whose constant complaining prompted the other staff to complain about her complaining."

    Prosecution: Caspar Schlitz, I put it to you that you were, on February 5th this year, very depressed with malice aforethought, and did moan quietly, contrary to the Cheerful Noises Act.

    Schlitz: I did.

    Defence: May I just explain, m'lud, that the reason for my client's behaviour was that his wife had just died that morning.
