We want to make you aware of a false anthrax scare on Friday, October 12, at our [...] facility in Manhattan. An employee was involved in what he considered a practical joke, leaving an open envelope containing white and brown powder on a desk of another employee.
The envelope was spotted by other employees and caused considerable alarm. Our security personnel tracked down the source, and the employee admitted the hoax. He is now facing disciplinary action, including dismissal. We are distributing this notice not only to ensure that you are informed of what actually happened, but also to make our policy absolutely clear. In this time of heightened anxiety, there is no excuse to cause needless alarm, distress or potential disruptions. Any such actions will be considered grounds for dismissal. Jackass. |
