This Manager Is NOT Messing Around
The first day back after we open the office again after a shut-down for the health crisis, my coworker comes in without a mask.
Manager: “Everyone must wear masks at all times in the office. Here, have a spare.”
Coworker: “I have a medical exemption.”
Manager: “You’ve had two months of work-from-home to get me a formal medical note. Put on a mask.”
Coworker: “I can’t breath with a mask on!”
Manager: “Then choke.”
Coworker: “Are you telling me that you want me to pass out and die?!”
Manager: “Survival of the majority trumps survival of the few. Put on your mask, and take solace in the knowledge that you’re doing what evolution wanted you to do.”
Coworker: “I—”
Manager: “Choose your next words carefully. They will determine whether or not I place flowers on your grave.”
He put on his mask.
