I just wrote up a memo and I am posting it in all employee's email prohibiting V-Day gift deliveries.?
I am sick of these florists coming into this office on V-Day and Sweetest Day with crap for my employees. I have the memo already written and it will also be posted. Any employee getting these type of deliveries will get a verbal warning on the first offense and will be terminated on the second. Productivity has sucked in here today. Do any of you blame me for this? Give me your honest views.
mma-do I look like I am joking? I am as serious as a massive heart attack. I will reprimand anyone getting deliveries like this after today and my boss is backing me up on it 100%!!!!

You're disciplining your employees for receiving gifts they have no control over. Most people do not send florists to themselves, their loved ones do and by now it is far too late to be saying anything of it. If you didn't want people entering the building you should have sent the memo out at least a week ago so they could tell their SOs NOT to send them anything because they're going to get in trouble for it. Doing anything right now will only upset your employees and anyone who possibly receives anything. It's ONE day. Get over it. Holidays are normally unproductive because people have their minds elsewhere. What you SHOULD send a memo over is reminding everyone that even though today is Valentine's Day, you would like to see productivity stay as good as always and just gently remind them to try to stay on task as much as possible.
