A recent email from Paradou restaurant owner, Vadim Ponorovsky to his employees has been leaked to Gawker. It is a classic example of the “proper” way to teach your employees on the way to harvest emails from restaurant clientele.

Here is the leaked email from Gawker:

To All,

Please read this email carefully. This is the last time we will be discussing this.

This weekend, saturday and sunday we had 451 customers. Guess how many emails we collected? 60? 80? 40? No. None of those. We, or more acurately you, collected 2 emails. Thats less than half of one percent. 2 fucking emails.

WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH YOU ASSHOLES?!?!?! How many times do we have to tell you how important it is that you collect emails. Everytime we have a slow night and you make no money and you sit there bitching about how you make no money, remember its because youre fucking lazy motherfuckers. YOU SHOULD ALL BE FIRED IMMEDIATELY!!!!! ALL OF YOU, INCLUDING THE HOSTS!!!!

Let me guess, youre probably sitting there saying “Vadim is such a fucking asshole. How dare he speak to me like this. I dont need this.” Youre right, you dont, so why dont you get the fuck out. Any and all of you.

Youre probably sitting there saying “How dare he speak to me like this. How dare he not have respect for me”. Youre right there also. I have absolutely no respect for any of you. Why? Because every fucking day, all of you continue to show that you have absolutely no respect for me or Alex. So if you dont respect us enough to do the little that we ask you to do, then GET THE FUCK OUT YOU FUCKING LAZY DISRESPECTFUL ASSHOLES!!!!!

Effective immediately, any server or host who fails to collect at least 20 emails per week, will be fined $100. Anyone failing to collect at least 20 emails for two weeks in a month will be fired immediately. No matter what. No matter who you are.

You dont want to do your job, you dont want to do what we ask, you dont belong at Paradou. Go find another place to work.

How dare you disrespect Alex and me this way. How dare you completely ignore what we ask of you time after time after time.

I am sick of all this shit, you bunch of fucking children. This is what I have to deal with at 6AM?!?!? I wouldnt tolerate this from my 13 year old, and Im sure as shit not going to tolerate it from any of you assholes.

You give no respect, you get 10 times back.

All we can say is…classic.

UPDATE 11/23/2009:

Gawker got a call back from Mr. Ponorovsky; he was not too pleased with the article writer.  He told Grub Street that he was not too thrilled at their posting of the leaked e-mail.   “This asshole never picked up the phone, never contacted me to find out what was going on. What kind of journalistic integrity is that? You know where that shit happens? Where I came from — Russia. ” He continues: “It truly shows the vapidness, the idiocy, the lack of education, the lack of understanding of our society. It really makes me disgusted to be a member of this city and this country.”

Apparently Mr. Ponorovsky knows how to create a viral campaign.
