- Trevor Adams, my assistant programmer, can always be found
- hard at work in his cubicle. Trevor works independently, without
- wasting company time talking to colleagues. Trevor never
- thinks twice about assisting fellow employees, and he always
- finishes given assignments on time. Often he takes extended
- measures to complete his work, sometimes skipping coffee
- breaks. Trevor is a dedicated individual who has absolutely no
- vanity in spite of his high accomplishments and profound
- knowledge in his field. I firmly believe that Trevor can be
- classed as a high-calibre employee, the type that cannot be
- dispensed with. Consequently, I truly recommend that Trevor be
- promoted to executive management, and a proposal will be
- executed as soon as possible.
Addendum
The idiot was standing over my shoulder while I wrote this report.
Kindly re-read only the odd numbered lines.

I hope Ramana, who sent this story, never had to write a reference like this!
Brilliant 🙂
Good!
He he! Every workplace has its irritating, incompetent Trevor who somehow never gets fired.
Only one? 😆
Executing bad employees….hmmm….there’s a novel concept. Glad it wasn’t around when I was wasting tim……er……uh……I mean working.
Al, don’t tell me you were a tim…. was……er? Goodness, we better not tell Barbara!
My ears are burning!
Haha! I wondered about the line numbers but figured they were there for a reason.
It was only when I read the piece as suggested, I realised the need for the numbers.
Now that’s funny and something anyone who works in a large office can appreciate
I came across a few Trevors in my time!
Very clever.
I thought it was funny.
Wonderful, very clever.
Very funny, but not actually one I would write!
When I was in Management, I did not have the luxury of making such recommendations. We did not have the kind of HR departments that now seem to flourish. If someone did not pull his weight, it was my job as his immediate superior to get rid of him. I have done my share of firing some Trevor Adams.
I bet you did it with a flourish!
Very clever, I wondered about those numbers for a while.

Me too.
Excellent. Trevor may deserve the axe.
Sounds like it, Dianne!
That was a complete surprise! Delightful tale of the modern workplace, Trever or not.
The workplace has certainly changed since I began my working life, many moons ago.
