Subject: STEEMIT.COM BUYOUT! Effective Immediately.
Attached: Employee_Retention.docx
All Staff,
We are pleased to announce the finalization of our acquisition of Steemit.com and the formation of BlockCorp Industries. Steemit was a social media platform where everyone gets paid for creating and curating content. It formerly leveraged a robust digital points system, called Steem that supported real value for digital rewards through market price discovery and liquidity. I don’t approve of such frivolousness so we are turning it into an email server for BlockCorp Industries. BlockCorp will synergize the traditional methods of block-mining with the limitless possibilities of tomorrow.
The merger combines the strengths of Steemit and Mrs. Fitzgibbons Home-Mined Blocks and Duck Farm, Inc by leveraging Steemit’s robust network resources and our local industry experience, and fine management practices. In order to facilitate our solid and successful operation Steemit.com’s website and all assets will be dissolved. BlockCorp will continue my life’s work of bringing quality blocks to market, however I will be stepping down as CEO immediately. My successor has been decided upon and the news will be made public shortly to the employees we choose to retain. This announcement will take place after the old board of directors returns from their tropical vacation.
All employees not on the attached document “Employee_Retention.docx, file, you have 3 minutes to remove your personal effects and make your way to the lobby. If you fail to comply you will escorted by security to your own tropical vacation, of sorts.
Warmly,
Mrs. Jaundice Fitzgibbons, CEO

Q,
The Virtual Growth bot was not transferred over to the new AI control programs. Do you a master password. I cannot have duck blocks being replicated all day outside my office. The quacking is making phone calls difficult otherwise I would have given you a call.
Please let me know!

Wait, there's rent for maintenance closets? I was never informed of this when a signed my Maintenance Closet Rental Agreement. It only said not to pee in the closet. Please don't make me live in the parking lot, it gets cold out there and it's hard to sleep when people drive around like it's some kind of... parking lot.

Oh Silvia, you old tease. Of course you're not fired. I've been meaning to congradulate you on your promotion. Now that you're BlockCorps' new HR Director, does that mean we have to stop sexually harassing the interns?
Lemme know, cause I've got my eye on a few of them!

Woohoo! And sexually harassing interns are only allowed if they are robots.
As director of interdimensional technoligies (IT) we would like an immediate review of the sexual harassment policies regarding autonomous lifeforms. We also request immediate sensitivity training for all employees regarding the use of defamatory terms such as robot and bot.
I spoke with the legal department who informed me that all fully mechanical, non-sentient employees must henceforth be referred to as humanly challenged instead of robot or bot.

We have to be careful with the "humanly challenged" verbage. Remember, we have pre and post human employees as well. Calling a pre-human employee humanly challenged could get us into hot water.

Dear Mr. Anarachyhasnogods (what is that german, swiss?)
I find your name on the Employee_Retention Document sent out by the generous and ever-correct Mrs. Fitzgibbons. I see here that you're a plant operations manager. Do you manage many plants? I have one in my office that could use a trim. Why don't you stop by and check it out and we can discuss your new position here at BlockCorp Industries.

You will work from 1:00am - 1:45am on Wendesday and 7:15pm to 7:16pm on Flornday. If you have any issues with the new timesheet software, don't hestitate to contact technical support.

That's a great question. All of our duties are shifting based on the new organization structure outlined in the linked file: F:blockcorp/topsecret/orgchart.pdf
Your position as Chief Antagonist to Mrs. Fitzgibbons is of course, being dissolved with her retirement. In order to maximize your unique skill set I see you've been reassigned to atagonize the entire middle management in our Kentucky Branch. Although this position will be a lot more work unfortunately we can't increase your hours or rate of pay at this time.

Renee,
Does this have anything to do with the office plants?
How many times do I have to tell you people that I didn't piss on Fred's stupid little bonzai tree?! Jesus.
I suspect who you really should be mad at is Brenda. Brenda and her fucking "she-wee". Seriously does anyone like that lady? Always galavanting around, telling everyone how to do their jobs. I don't tell her how to sit around and stare out the window or look up cat memes all day.
Anyway, I'll be in the break area "repurposing" lunches as I forgot mine.
Have a good day!

Well, your email was more of an incoherent rant than a question. This is the first I've heard of the bonsai incident. Bonsai trees are culturally insensitive plants and are restricted from all but our Tokyo offices. Fred has been made redundant in the merger with Steemit.com, but be sure to have Stu Anarchyhasnogods to go and check to make sure this illegal tree has been properly destroyed.

Dear Ms. Nouveau,
I would format my reply as is standard to corporate policy but my plants are also here as well, please send help. Sending security promptly would be much appreciated. I could not leave my office even if he let me go.
His name is Seymour since you asked, and the bio-lab if able should please send someone to get him back under control. As much as I love him, he's refusing to let go and he already ate my Dentist.

You know how these data entry errors can happen with those monkeys in the typing pool! There is some flexibility around keeping key staff members in the R&D division.

My previous position was a division we called "Unknown", for mystery and lulz. Who knows what went on in there? Nobody knew. Well, except me of course. But I couldn't be held accountable for what may or may not have gone on in that department, so there isn't very much reason for me to tell anyone, is there? Is there a position I'll be able to secure within BlockCore Industries, that will match my unique skill set?

Stephen,
Thank you for checking in. Mrs. Fitsgibbons was not a fan of the lulz, as we all know. The great lulz layoff of 2014 was a great loss to the company as a whole, I'm glad you managed to stick it out in the sub-sub-sub-basement. BlockCorp Industries will strive to be a more lulz-inclusive environment and the position of Head Wizard of the [REDACTED] Department.
Your new office is in the sub-sub-basement.
Please try to make the departmental meeting next Flornday, September 1.5, 2016 at 10am to discuss the new responsibilities of your role.

Dear Renee Nouveau,
After only just recently wandering into your offices by accident, I have had numerous ex-employees stare at my mouth. I've noted this down in their files as harassment, and they will be hearing from the company's head legal team, i.e. me. Rest assured that these types of shenanigans can and may continue after our previous hostile takeover.
