Office Procedures Concerning Storm And Office Closings

The following are the
firm's guidelines based upon the hurricane's intensity:

Hurricane Category #1
No excuse for being late. Leave earlier to give extra time to
avoid fallen trees and limbs.


Hurricane Category #2
Due to the horizontal rain, you may wear jeans.


Hurricane Category #3
Whereas most of the area will be flooded we suggest you
avoid wearing open toe sandals when coming to work. Canoes will be
provided to get to the building safely without getting wet.


Hurricane Category #4
More than likely there will be no electricity. Given that, we
will have manual typewriters available to all staff members. Please take
extra caution and wear water-proof make-up if Category 4 or above.


Hurricane Category #5
Velcro will be provided to keep you attached to your chairs when
the windows blow out. For those that survive, we will have chocolate
cake at 3:00 pm in the kitchen.

Sounds like that came from the new suits that took over the Clear Channel offices in Salisbury. FYI - suits came in yesterday and fired 5 people 2 manager, top 2 sales people, and another sales person. They are in trouble...

Clear Channel? Is that the microwave filter company??? I thought that was locally owned. After Filtronic Comteck, makes you wonder if the industry is dying in this area. . . probably being outsourced.

Clear Channel is a radio company they own Froggy, Q-105, 96 Rock, and several other radio stations in the area.

I work at a company with a generator, so we don't even lose electricity.

Sounds like the Centre at Salisbury's weather policy. They'll keep us open when the State Police are asking people to stay off the roads. Believe me, there is nothing i that mall worth risking your life for, not even a drug store.
