This place isn’t a company, it’s what would happen if a school detention hall, a failing family WhatsApp group, and a dairy aisle had a nervous breakdown together.Staff are forbidden from throwing away gone-off milk. Not “slightly past its best” milk, we’re talking sentient, weaponised dairy. Dispose of it and you’re placed on a milk ban, like a disgraced Victorian chimney sweep, and barred from the kitchen. Nothing screams “serious professional organisation” quite like fermented lactose disciplinary procedures.The owner’s sister holds the grand title of “business manager,” which appears to mean Chief Inspector of Dishwasher Loading and Supreme Warden of the Kitchen Threshold. What business she manages is unclear, unless the company’s core revenue stream is passive aggressive hovering. Her communication style falls somewhere between traffic warden and malfunctioning foghorn.Her brother, the managing director, operates on the revolutionary leadership principle of “speak to everyone like dirt, then act personally victimised when they don’t enjoy it.” Question anything and you’ll be treated like a rogue agent in a low budget spy film -isolated, monitored, and quietly punished for the crime of possessing a spine.Then there’s the construction director, whose primary contribution appears to be arriving in an expensive car and radiating the confidence of a man who has never been told “no.” Actual work seems to be something he delegates with the enthusiasm of someone outsourcing a group project five minutes after joining it. If looking busy and talking about yourself were an Olympic sport, he’d still subcontract it.Staff turnover isn’t high, it’s centrifugal. People don’t leave; they’re flung out by the sheer gravitational force of dysfunction. New starters arrive with hope in their eyes and leave weeks later looking like they’ve just completed a tour of duty.Desks are moved around constantly for no discernible reason, giving the office the calm, structured atmosphere of musical chairs during an earthquake. Presumably this is to keep morale low and confusion high, both key pillars of modern management, apparently.Morale itself is somewhere beneath the Earth’s crust. The general mood could be described as “hostage situation but with spreadsheets.”Honestly, calling it a circus would be unfair to circuses, at least clowns have skills and someone there knows how to organise a tent.My deepest sympathies to anyone still employed there. Stay strong, stay hydrated (bring your own milk), and remember: parole is possible.
