When you work for a company owned by a A..hole
-
Yeah, that company has red flags.
Red flag number 1: the contents of the note
Red flag number 2: using duct tape to attach the note to the wall. Hints at a huge managerial Skill Issue.
A proper company would instead be talking about compliance and how gifts of really any meaningful value have to be rejected outright.

When I worked for a major database company they made me take annual training to explain that I wasn’t allowed to buy sex workers for potential clients.
Duh, buying them would be capex. No one wants to do depreciation. Short term lease with a damage clause.
-
Pretty sure I just got
anti-briberyethics and compliance training that said no one in my company is allowed to accept such gifts lolYeah we had that training. Not that anyone ever offers me bribes anyway.
It's like all the lies about the drug dealers giving kids free drugs. Never happens.

In our company this is a bribe and we don't accept bribes.

My handbook at work specifically bans buying illicit drugs for customers with the company card.
It doesn't say anything about buying it with my card and getting reimbursed though...
Make sure the dealer gives you a receipt.

What are you, a cop?

I would simply refuse all gifts rather than give them to the owner.
Explain to the client that your refusing because of the policy that all gifts must go to the owner.

We need to start recognizing corporate greed as a mental disorder. This is a company large enough that employees don't interact with the owner directly, and all the profits from the company aren't enough for the owner: they also want the pen the delivery guy gave you. It's a sickness.

Even better. Make clients look for better companies.

Food? So if a client takes me for a meal I have to make sure to vomit it onto my boss' desk when I get back to the office?
Vomiting is not as much fun as waiting for it to be ready for you to deposit on the boss' desk the other way.

"Oh, thanks! What I'd like is some extremely hot sauce in a bottle labelled 'ketchup'".
or mayo in a pudding glass

Yes. Malicious compliance.

True, but it’s good to have options.

Wait, if I am, do I have to tell you?

usually, you're supposed to turn down the gift, this is just wrong
The only time I've ever had to agree to anything like this in writing was when I worked for a publicly-traded company.
-

If you are one, no. I think you get in trouble if you don't lie and/or kick my shit in, actually

I'll have to carry unnecessary violence with me wherever I go. Will a bat be OK?

That lovely aged fish in a can from Scandinavia called Surströmming. Make sure to ask for that.

Not saying a business/person wouldn't try to do something this shitty, but this seems like such a low effort thing to fake. Literally just a word doc printed out and duct taped to a wall.
