That next week the company published a newsletter of its own to combat the popularity of our newsletter. Unlike our newsletter, it had much higher production values, came to us semi-glossy, with blue ink on white paper, and was doubled-sided. The main section featured the president of the company and a discussion of his importance and why he was such a good person. This amounted to a listing of his corporate positions and several mentions of the fact that he was, indeed, a really good guy. One of us was featured, too, on the back of the newsletter, in a box that told of how hard this man had worked, how he’d missed no days in some awfully long amount of time, how no one had ever complained about him or his work, but we knew this guy was a suckass and we dismissed his last page honorable. What remained of the company’s newsletter was boilerplate from the employee manual. The stack of company newsletters lay mostly undisturbed in the breakroom until someone tossed it into the trash a few days later.
