The Rules

Links to news stories from...
...credible sources, with...
...their original headlines, that...
...would make people who see the headline think, “That has got to be a story from The Onion, America’s Finest News Source.”

Comments must abide by the server rules for Lemmy.world and generally abstain from trollish, bigoted, or otherwise disruptive behavior that makes this community less fun for everyone.

These are fun. For any other CEOs reading along, here's your new policy/advertisement:

Furniture Row could convert every employee workstation to standing only.
Starbucks could require every staff member to go caffeine free.
Underarmor could set a black tie dress code for all employees.
Master lock could shut down their staff gym citing uncontrolled theft from lockers.
Grayhound could ban employees from traveling together to events.
General Mills could establish a rewards program for employees who participate in a daily morning fast until lunchtime.
Atlassian and Salseforce could shift their internal help desks to in-person only with 100% paper records.
Peterbilt could start an incentive program that reimburses staff for buying local.

That would probably be an improvement for Salesforce. I truly hate their software. It's god awful.

That Master Lock one seems entirely plausible.
