Mourning commute

By Wouter Haayman

From an email sent on July 14 by Wouter Haayman, a departmental manager, to staff at the Hull Office of ZEDA, Ltd., a British software company.

SUBJECT: Two-minute silence

All,

We have been informed by Head Office that Zeda does not recognize the two-minute silence to commemorate the victims of last week’s terror attack in London.

Anyone who would like to show respect is allowed to do so in his or her own way, provided the time lost will be deducted from today’s lunch break.
