They actively removed the alarms from your area? I'm pretty sure that has to be some kind of illegal, or at least against OSHA rules. Good grief! At least in our case they acknowledge it as a problem and are actively trying to fix it...

I accually can relate to this. They removed all the alarms from the IT section in our building. We have just missed fire drills, because we couldn’t hear them. I guess in the absence of a captian, the they want us to go down with the ship.

Well, they im all the managers and tell them to pass it on. And you can im muliple people at once. And the people on the line in manufacturing don’t have computers so it just got announced back there…

How small is your company that someone can be responsible for IMing everyone there?

It doesn’t make sense to announce the exact date and time…but my work does it too, to the extent of sending im’s to everyone 5 min before so *shrug*

But not going off? Very not cool :-(

Announcing that one will happen in the next month is valid. It inspires puny companies like mine to actually make a planned meeting place, which we didn’t previously have. But announcing the precise time… yes… that’s probably weird.

Meanwhile, not telling us it will happen and then not ringing any alarms on our floor…?! Not cool, dudes. Not cool.

Zombies eat brains…

I never understood the announced drill, though. I mean is the terrorist going to call ahead before burning down the building?
