Specifically, intention to activate a unknown incantation is so far beyond acceptable that we must consider that this employee has LOST their mind, or somehow been mind controlled. We cannot believe that any employee would intentionally violate security to this extent, unless they do not take Laundry seriously.
]]>On another note, feel invited to my advance screening of "Star Wars VII"to vet any other "Inside Killing Jokes[1]" by J.J. Abrams.
[1] No, we're not into 80's PostPunk. Again.
]]>In light of recent events, please evaluate the mental stability of staff BEFORE informing them of the results of their latest Annual Personal Review.
An unfortunate, post-APR, incident involving [REDACTED] recently became the subject of discussion in Parliament. This is not helpful.
On a separate note: volunteers willing to represent the company at the various funeral services would be greatly appreciated.
Resubmitted due to recursive redaction.
]]>Background Staff will be aware of the recent security breach via which detailed accounts of Acme Cleaning Services activities have been released into the public domain.
Staff are reminded that they are signatories to the Official Secrets Act 1989 (Section 3 Annex) which contains provisions protecting more limited classes of official information.
Consequently, they must not release into the public domain, manuscripts purporting to be fiction, which in large part reflect the activities of the service.
Adjudication of case Weak obfuscation including: replacing ACS with an agency entitled "Laundry", naming the main character after an American wrestler and changing your spouse's eldritch weapon of choice from a banjo into a violin was found to have occurred - together with 733 other counts of similar poorly disguised disclosures.
Little mitigation was noted. The obfuscations were transparent, childish and quite below the standards normally expected for misdirection operations conducted by experienced operatives. It is understood that the Russians have not yet stopped laughing and the US have sent their sympathies.
Punishment The staff member responsible will now be required to maintain the subterfuge as a professional author indefinitely. He is required to write another Merchant Princes trilogy next year, the third Halting State novel by next Christmas and will retain his current hair style.
He will also be required to provide user support for Human Resources until further notice.
]]>All geas engines are prohibited, as was made perfectly clear following the Mills & Boon incident last month.
]]>"using Laundry computing facilities to violate any laws"
Please note that it does not say "engage in any illegal activities"; time-forging of data is not illegal, but it does violate laws.
]]>The competition is now closed. Judgement is in progress: there will be an update on the blog within the next week.
Yours,
The Management.
