Reading Between the Lines

This probably would have been one of those emails which makes you smile a bit and think back to your job description.

I might actually smile at a few of those lines if this was sent out by anyone else other than my manager. The manager who interviewed and hired me.

I can recognise two of those lines .. and sadly .. its so true. For my company anyway. I don't know how true it is for the companies listed here.

Here is a copy of the email :
