Choking on employee emergency codes
I’ve recently began reading “Choke”, a novel by the guy behind Fight Club; Chuck Palahniuk. As with Fight Club, I’m completely enthralled by the straightforward provocative story line and edgy mentality towards life and how to live it. Some things are just totally absurd while others make so much sense - either way, it is awesome all the way through.
One of the chapters I’ve just finished describes a range of different internal employee codes and procedures that contains different meanings. I’m not sure what is true, if anything, and it would be great if anybody could elaborate on it with me. Nonetheless, it’s cool - and even more cool if it proves to be true!
