That's another point have made.
The non-smoker at the bar is not going to bet served promptly if the smoking bartender is outside with all the smokers.........You know the bartenders who's HEALTH the bans are designed to "protect."
Howdy Ladies....
check out the email just sent out from HR about smoking on company facilities.....smoking nazis at it again....
I've deleted the company name, location, etc... so as not to get into any trouble. What a crock!
Second-hand smoke is a health hazard to all those who are exposed to it. Recently, there have been an increasing number of complaints regarding second-hand smoke in the non-designated smoking areas of the courtyard entrance, in which a "No Smoking" sign has been installed. Based on these complaints and the concern for the health of our employees, xxxxxxxx is issuing this communiqué to remind all employees of acceptable designated areas for smoking.
Our current xxxxx policy xxxxx "Smoke Free Work Environment" requires the restricting of smoking to designated smoking areas. Relative to xxxxxxxx, employees who smoke are to use the courtyard area, approximately 50 feet away from the West entrance to the building. The special cigarette butt receptacle is not to be moved from this location. The current smoking area outside of the loading dock on the South end of the building remains the same and is not affected by this restriction.
Smoking is not permitted at the main entrances of any xxxxxxx facility. Facilities have placed appropriate signage at these entrances. In order to continue to provide smoking areas, employees must adhere to smoking only in these designated areas. Further, inclement weather can no longer be an acceptable reason for deviating from this requirement.
Human Resources, Facilities and Environmental, Health and Safety are committed to ensuring a healthy work environment. It is the responsibility of each employee to ensure compliance with this requirement. Non-compliance will result in supervision notification. We hope that each of you will help make this effort a successful one.
Any questions relative to this communication should be addressed to your human resources representative
My favorite part:
Further, inclement weather can no longer be an acceptable reason for deviating from this requirement.
So we must protect the wittle cry baby nazis, but it's okay to force smokers out in the rain/cold to smoke. This is beginning to piss me off. Wonder if I should lodge a complaint of my own....
