I’m Vigilant

by | mei 14, 2024 | Humor

Warning to all employees

In our company, several terrorists have already been identified and apprehended.
These are the following innocent followers: Am Here, Am Late, Am Tired, Am Coffee Breaking, Am Smoking, and Am Eating.
The employees Am in Bathroom and Am in Warehouse have also been dismantled. They are considered useless and will be taken into custody.
The very dangerous terrorist Am Pregnant has also been apprehended.
Only the top terrorist Am Working could not be found after intensive searching in our company.
**ATTENTION:** Am Working is spreading very threatening credentials!
He is trying to undermine the terrorist group Am Wrong and convert them to his fundamentalist beliefs.
Avoid him and avoid any contact!!!
After discussions with management, there is no reason to panic.
It is very unlikely that, except for Am Working, anyone is present in our department. There is absolutely no one in our department who even remotely matches this description.
Unfortunately, the well-known top terrorist Am in Meeting has not yet been caught.
It is suspected that he may also behave as Am Important or Am Boss.
Am with Customers is also yet to be traced.
Nobody has ever seen him – BE CAREFUL!
In our department, we are also intensively searching for Am Not Available.
I trust you are all sufficiently informed, but so far nothing serious has been observed.

Your security officer,

Am Vigilant.

Waarschuwing aan alle werknemers

 

In ons bedrijf konden reeds enkele terroristen geïdentificeerd en opgepakt worden.

Het gaat hier om de volgende onschuldige meelopers: Ben Daar, Ben Laat, Ben Moe, Ben Koffiedrinken, Ben Roken en Ben Eten.

De werknemers Ben Plassen en Ben in Magazijn konden eveneens ontmanteld worden. Zij worden als nutteloos beschouwd en zullen in hechtenis worden genomen.

Ook de zéér gevaarlijke terroriste Ben Zwanger kon in de boeien worden geslagen.

Alleen de topterrorist Ben Werken kon na intensief zoeken in ons bedrijf niet gevonden worden.

**OPGELET:** Ben Werken verspreidt zéér bedreigende geloofsbrieven!

Hij probeert de terroristengroep Ben Fout te ondermijnen en hen tot ommekeer te brengen tot zijn fundamentalistisch geloof.

Ga hem uit de weg en mijdt ieder kontakt!!!

Na besprekingen met de bedrijfsleider is er geen reden tot paniek.

Het is zéér onwaarschijnlijk, dat uitgezonderd Ben Werken zich in onze afdeling ophoudt. Er is op onze afdeling absoluut niemand, die ook maar in het minst aan deze beschrijving voldoet.

Jammer genoeg kon de bekende topterrorist Ben in Bespreking tot op heden nog niet gepakt worden.

Men vermoedt, dat hij zich ook als Ben Belangrijk of Ben Chef kan gedragen.

Ben bij Klanten is ook nog niet te achterhalen.

Niemand heeft hem ooit gezien – WEES VOORZICHTIG!

Op onze afdeling wordt ook intensief naar Ben Niet Bereikbaar gezocht.

Hierbij vertrouw ik u allen voldoende geïnformeerd, maar tot nu toe werd niets ernstigs opgemerkt.

Uw veiligheidsambtenaar,

Ben Waakzaam.
