Subject: The Hub Is Not A Trash Can

Dear All NEST staff

This is a polite reminder to all NEST staff that, despite appearances, the yawning abyss in the Hub is not actually bottomless. I shouldn't have to remind you that key security and safety equipment is down there as well as the emergency evacuation exit. Janitorial staff have found countless cigarette butts, disposable coffee cups and other general detritus down there. Please use the trash cans provided in shared work areas.

Subject: Nap Room Changes

Dear All NEST staff

Due to a string of complaints about inappropriate behaviour the nap room will be single sex use only as of next week. You can find the nap room rota on the shared drive. There is a spare bed in the security office should you wish to nap when it isn't your sex's 'turn'. This is also a good time to remind staff that the nap room pods are single occupancy online.

Subject: Biofilm

Dear All NEST staff

As many of you know, Dr Li has raised concerns about the biofilm coating many of the surfaces in the hub. The water flow and temperature down here appears to be creating an ideal environment for this 'film'. At the moment it's probably perfectly safe, it's a natural film not something we've cooked up! But please refrain from touching natural rock surfaces in and around the hub until we've identified it. It's also making the walkways somewhat slippy so please take care when cutting across the hub.

Subject: TGI FRIDAYS & Cleaning

Dear All NEST staff

Following the tragic incident with Dr. Surama last week, Jack's Bar back up at street level has been booked for TGI FRIDAYS. Active immediately, no alcohol is to be consumed in either the East or West Area. Please make sure you take care when crossing the hub. We're investigating temporary guard rails and raised hand rails in response. This weekend the janitorial team will be deep cleaning the hub to remove the biofilm on walkways. All staff are encouraged not to come in during the clean.

Subject: Reminder About Work Hours

Dear All NEST staff

At Senior Management Team this week we discussed timekeeping and tardiness again. The 8.30 cable car will no longer be held waiting for staff running late as we've had delays of up to half an hour holding up everyone's day. If you are not at the cable car at 8.30 you will be expected to make up the extra time after the 10am cable car gets you to the NEST.

Subject: Use of Lab Fridges

Dear All NEST staff

Any member of staff found storing their lunch in lab fridges/freezers will be suspended immediately without pay. As most of you will know, the Plant 43 team have been set back months thanks to the specimen hybridising with spinach. Staff are reminded that eating is strictly prohibited in lab areas and that there is limited space in the cafeteria for staff to store their own food and drink items. For God's sake people this is not the Arklay facility and I'll be damned if that happens to us here.
