If you could chose any sign to display in your workplace what would it say? For me it is; "Where do you think you are today?" This refers to the shoes and clothing some people think is appropriate to wear to work. Some look like they are on a night out! Have to keep reminding them of whats appropriate. Kevin

KevKel I agree entirely. I think a frock coat, cravat and bowler is a must around the office. And secretaries should talk more pride in their crinolines.

Both of these signs are required currently.... Man up and grow a pair or Shut up and deal with it. Both should be displayed in the style of 'Keep calm and carry on'.

Safety Smurf - see you nicked the RAFR motto "Per Ardura ad Tavernum" please return it. It was also translated in 1974 to "Letsgetin - tNAAFI"

An appropriate sign for some or more workplaces is " You don't have to be mad to work here, but it certainly helps!" In some workplaces it comprises no more than a piece of whimsical humour. However, the same words can have a starker interpretation in workplaces with significant levels of work-induced stress among employees. :-(
