Sorry, the document has been rejected. We require signatures in blue ink, as specified in the employee handbook section 132.86.9c(3), so we can tell the scanned copy from the original. Please sign again. We’re also sending over a form (G03.2) that acknowledges we received your signature but that it was incorrectly processed. This will ensure you don’t get written up for turning in the document late (section 075.53.7). Please also signed the attached form (form Y64.5) that verifies that the original signature was yours. All forms must be received by the end of the business day. Please also scan the documents and upload the copies to dev.null@fcorp.com
I always carry around a black & blue pen (and sometimes red, I like pens*). At some point I got into the habit of always using blue to sign; not clear why. I distinctly remember signing something in blue and then having to do it all over again because they insisted that I only use black ink. I am now suspicious of this this past event..
*not the expensive kind either, I've tried pens that were $50+; fav is still a $2.75 Uniball Jetstream 1.0mm. Smooth pens make pen&paper writing/signing fun
