1.  If you have a cough/cold it is illegal to leave the house or go to work or any other place where you might infect other people.

Huh. You persuade my employer to pay people when they're sick, and I'll stay home with my runny nose.

Cheers, Martyn

Section 4 of my petty little law;

4.0 Payments to absent staff
Staff will be paid double time for their infection-based absence. 
This will benefit the employee who will be able to relax and recover faster, free from stress.
This will benefit the employer, who will only be losing 1-2 working days from one employee rather than dozens of working days from all the other employees that would have been infected by this unclean individual.

And while we're on work...

It shall be illegal for a manager to refer to a policy as a strategy, and vice versa.

It shall be illegal to call the department 'Human Resources'.  I am a person, not a resource. 

It shall be illegal to moan at me for not turning my PC monitor off overnight 'because it wastes energy', when the heating is on despite it being 12 degrees C outside, forcing me to open the windows to try and reduce the office temperature to below 38 degrees C.   

It shall be illegal to organise meetings between 12 and 1pm (lunchtime) any day, before midday on Mondays, or after midday Fridays.

At least Human Resources is accurate from an organisational perspective.

To a comapny, 'humans' are 'resources'.

I have no idea what 'Human Capital Management' means.  Employees are NOT capital.

Good grief.   


There really is no end to the bovine coprolites...


ITs actually Orwellian Newspeak in action.  People who do this should be publically shamed...

Slaves are.

True, but are we, as the Japanese suggested 'wage slaves'?

Or are we 'wage prisoners'?

Most people i think are economically imprisoned - particularly if you bought the mythical idea of 'ownership' and have the millstone of something like a mortgage.

There are many laws i'd enact around the rights of the worker (mostly restoring and building on hard-won rights that have been systematically been removed over the last 30 years), but i don't think they'd be petty, small minded, or little.
