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."

    As far as I know, your sig is incorrect. Apostrophes are used for contractions AND possessives. It's PLURALIZING where you do not use them. Bob the angry flower can help.
