Stranger than Fiction

Today I received an email from our IT Department. I've copied and pasted it in its entirety.

All:

Tough economic times call for tough economic measures.

The cost for keeping our applications running is skyrocketing. In order to offset some of those costs, we will have to start charging all Partner Applications users a small per-use fee whenever logging into the site. You will only be charged once per login regardless of how many applications you run. The fee is $0.22 and will be deducted from your paycheck by-weekly. The new charge will take effect today.

Please let me know if you have any concerns.

Regards,


I'd like to point out a few things:
  1. The misspelled "bi-weekly" in the second paragraph
  2. There is no name after "Regards,"
  3. This is potentially the worst April Fool's Joke ever.

Wait - so was it a joke?? Surely you don't actually have to pay to work.
