Re: Watering the plants
Probably just like you, I work for a serious corporation. We know our stuff – from our core products to office maintenance. Enough talk, let me show you what I mean

Subject: watering the plants
Hi everyone
I have received a request from the nice lady who comes here once in a while and check up on our office plants:
Please do not water the plants. Not in any way. Leftovers, even small amounts, from beverages and coffie etc. that someone might water the plants with before refilling a cup or something like that, is enough to damage the plant. The plants do only require small amounts of water or they will drown.
It should therefore be the be the nice lady alone who water the plants (with water) so she can control the watering.
A recently installed plant is actually in a bad condition due to overwatering. The insurance/serviceagreement does not cover if we water them ourselves, and we will have to pay for a new ones if we kill them.
Do you dare to care – for the plants?
This mail made me feel paranoia creeping unhurriedly in my guts.
Am I the said office plant?
