Improvement planThe accused receives a theatrical 30, 60, and 90-day path toward acceptable office conduct.

Built for workplace humor

The HR Department format fits microwave crimes, meeting monologues, reply-all mishaps, desk encroachment, calendar offenses, unexplained speakerphone use, and other incidents too petty for real administration.

Keep real HR out of it

This is a novelty report for consenting adults who understand the joke. It should never be submitted as an actual workplace complaint, impersonate an employer, or replace a real safety, discrimination, harassment, or personnel process.

Make the case recognizable

Describe the setting, the repeated behavior, and its comic impact. A concrete observation produces a stronger report than a broad insult. The finished document should make the recipient say, “I know exactly what this is about.”

Example language from the record

The record finds that the subject initiated a twelve-person reply-all chain to acknowledge a message that required no reply, creating measurable inbox fatigue and avoidable administrative weather.

Questions entered into the record

Is this connected to my employer?

No. The fictional HR Department has no connection to your employer and the report is not an official workplace record.

Can I use a coworker’s name?

Use good judgment and share only with people who will appreciate the joke. Do not include confidential, discriminatory, medical, or genuinely harmful allegations.

Can the report be printed?

Yes. It is designed to download, print, or save as a one-page PDF.
