The dress code defines who we are within the company, and has since 1934. In 1954, we made vests optional. Some managers are reporting that their employees arrive for work with mild cases of heat exhaustion. Employees should be encouraged to turn up the air conditioning in their vehicles. Our building has no drinking fountains.
Bottled water is an expensive non-necessity requiring extra maintenance.
Providing free water to employees could adversely impact the 401K program. Please remind all employees that, while temperatures are up, so are our stock prices. We can't allow minor problems to detract from a record earnings period.
