The story involves the President of a PR firm sending a rather blunt email to his staff (full copy is available here), threatening them with being fired if they didn't sort themselves out. So what was this behaviour that the President got so angry about? In-fighting? Bullying? No - it was about milk. Skimmed milk to be exact.
At some point, we've all gone to make a tea or coffee in the morning, only to find that someone has used the last of the milk. However, the President of this company must have been having a particularly bad day as it resulted in him sending out a mass email including the following:
"I am gravely serious when I write this - if I catch someone not replacing the milk.......then I am going to fire you. Im not joking. You will be fired for not replacing the milk, and have fun explaining that one to your next employer. This is not a empty threat so PLEASE don't test me."
