Hey Rick, how's it going?

H- yes, it's about the asterisks. Did you get the email? You see it's a legal thing now, so we use brackets instead. Sherbert already talked to you? Good, good. I'll go ahead and get you a copy of that email. Thanks.

MEMO TO MIDDLE MANAGERS REGARDING ASTERISKS AND BRACKETS

Date: 4/20
From: Manifisto
To: Middle Managers
Re: Asterisks and Brackets

It has come to the attention of senior management that certain middle managers continue to tolerate the use of asterisks, rather than brackets, to indicate action. As per legal, such disregard of company policy creates unacceptable risks both from a litigation and reputation standpoint. Effective immediately, any further use of asterisks to indicate action will result in a stern talking-to for any middle manager involved, unless said middle manager can demonstrate persuasively that this was the fault of the employee, not the middle manager. In the latter eventuality, the culpable employee will be terminated immediately, and the middle manager will be commended and, at upper management's discretion, recommended for promotion.

In summary:

* employees must use brackets, rather than asterisks, to indicate action
* middle managers bear full responsibility for employee infractions, unless it was the employee's fault
* in light of the 4/20 holiday, I am ripped to the loving tits while dictating this, holy poo poo
