Mumbai. Accounts and HR managers from various companies have
agreed to make a major policy change that follows from the the observed
practice of office romance and flirting.
“We realize that many young men, sometimes old men too, whom we hire,
tend to treat the office as a dating zone. They eventually save
membership fee that online dating or matrimony websites charge,” a
senior accounts manager explained.
“This is a service that the workplaces are providing for free, and
there is nothing wrong if we start charging for it,” the manager told
Faking News.
“At least we are not banning office romance altogether, as it is done
by many companies in the west!” an HR manager jumped in to justify the
latest corporate decision.
According to the new rule, women working in any organization would be
asked to “rate” men working with them as “Gentleman”, “Hottie”, “Bore”,
or “Cheapo”. Those rated cheapos by the majority will have an
“accessibility fee” deducted from their salaries.
“The only way such cheapos can hope get near any girl is by begging
her out for lunch/dinner, buying gifts, etc. We are making girls
accessible to them, that too in air-conditioned premises with free
coffee vending machines. They must pay up for these services,”
management explained the rationale.
These companies, whether in IT, manufacturing, or media sectors,
would be further adding service tax on the accessibility fee deducted
from the salaries. Experts believe that cheapos could have almost 15% of
their take-home salary deducted after the new rule is implemented.
When asked why only men were being brought under this new law when
even women could be using such services as well, the management termed
the question “sexist” and claimed that their decision was approved by
relevant activists.
While women have welcomed the decision, men are divided. Those men
who fear being rated as cheapos are opposing the decision while those
who are hopeful of being rated as hotties are demanding that the
salaries deducted from cheapos be transferred to their accounts.
