    Your Company Christmas Card



    Received a Christmas card from the company yesterday.

    Ahhh, that's nice you think.

    Open it up and after the greeting is a survey to fill in and return

    Now, admittedly the back half of the card is the survey and the prepaid return address but it's a bit cheapskate to my mind.

    Anybody else had a "fun" card from their firm?

    Nice one.
    I'd be tempted to go to pound world and buy 50 of the cheapest paper thin cards for a pound.
    Then send one to the company in the pre paid envolope, wishing them a merry christmas too.

    I would have been even more tempted to buy the biggest and heaviest card and used the pre-paid envelope to send it.
    Quite sure the pre-paid frank would not cover the postage cost so they would have to pay extra....lol

    Grizzly, you need to teach them how to use the 'blind copy' function of email just before you sue the pants off them for breaching your 'uman rights.

    Thumbs up Re: Your Company Christmas Card

    But I ain't 'uman I's an Engineer. Or at least that how I think they (those that must be obeyed) think of us sometimes.
    Sad I know but sometimes my bosses forget that some of us have not only been there Wev'e Still got the T shirts!
    On a lighter note my boss did appologise profusely, SO next time I **** up were even arn't we!
    ANYWAYS I use mailwasher, so I can view my mail before it's opened by my browser and there is a nice big bounce button. ( bounces the email back to the originator as if my email address is redundant.
    Brilliant fun when dealing with spam.
    Cheers Grizzly
