This is your captain speaking. Please fasten your seatbelts. You are in for a turbulent Flight. This post sponsored by @CEOofmyhouse56

Why do we have such a toxic culture of making work “fun”?? What the hell is wrong with people? Why can’t we just do work, go home and have your own kind of fun with other people you enjoy being around???
I fucking hate it. I dont get it. Its a JOB. It means nothing to me. Just middle management and HR trying to justify their existance. Just cause they dont have personal lives.

An idea was floated by HR that each team should make a video (to put on our intranet) explaining what we do and how we fit into the organisation.

The kicker - it should have been a music video!!! Everyone loves to sing on camera!!

Thankfully upper management put an end to it quickly, but it went way further than it should have.

it should have been a music video!!! Everyone loves to sing on camera!! have these people not heard of the Geneva Convention?

We’re talking about HR here, so definitely not.

I should note that there were a few teams that very actually disappointed that this didn’t eventuate.

Those team members have been reported to ASIO as potential spies

Report?! No no no. Execute them now. Clearly they are shapeshifting aliens! I’d say robots but I think even robots would shy away from an artsy idea like that.

In the context of this particular team it makes sense. They’re ‘those’ kind of people.

Super keen and excited for anything and everything.

Fuckers
