Punctuality, it is so important.

It has been brought to our attention that we, here at Life Explained, have been losing control of the attendance, and punctuality of our employees.  We would like to remind everyone that punctuality and attendance are the hallmarks of great companies throughout history.

Our noted policy historian, Bob, has researched this very carefully, and found the following passage in the Yasa, the book of laws established during the rule of Genghis Khan.

We are not sure we have the legal authority to tie anyone to the back of a horse (maybe an all terrain vehicle might be easier to justify, Bill from Legal is researching this) and drag them through a field, and dismemberment is probably a little extreme, (trust us, you don't even want to see how the ancient Assyrians punished tardiness, it was brutal), but employees need to understand that their "work" here is vital to the good of the company, the nation, and the world.  And if you aren't here it won't get done, because we sure are not going to do it, that is why we hired you. So, we will see you tomorrow, bright and early, we are in talks with Yamaha for an ATV right now.
