Echoes of 1859 Office Rules in a Salt Mine Memo
A local secretary faces a satire on old workplace rules echoing 1859 practices. Clerks were ordered to haul water and coal, sweep, dust, fuel lamps, wash windows weekly, and work long hours from 7 a.m. to 8 p.m. Men could secure extra evenings off for courting or church attendance. Smoking, drinking, barbering, or pool hall visits risked trust. After five years, a barely symbolic five cent raise awaited profits.
