A Florida Pizza Hut memo about Hurricane Irma has gone viral.
According to the New York Daily News, a Jacksonville Pizza Hut manager, sent out a memo that read: "#1 priority is the safety and security of our team."
The post went on to list strict rules about evacuations and returning to work.
“If evacuating, you will have a 24-hour period before storm 'grace period' to not be scheduled," the letter stated. “You cannot evacuate Friday for a Tuesday storm event!”
The memo went on to read that employees, “MUST return within 72 hours” and “failure to show for these shifts, regardless of reason, will be considered a no call/no show and documentation will be issued.”

That’s the part that really irked social media users.
Pizza Hut released the following statement: "We absolutely do not have a policy that dictates when team members can leave or return from a disaster, and the manager who posted this letter did not follow company guidelines. We can also confirm that the local franchise operator has addressed this situation with the manager involved."
