On Friday, our department’s admin unexpectedly emailed us a schedule of our one-on-one times with some lady out of the blue.  We were wondering who she was and what this was about. 

Well, it turns out she was a consultant, and she was only speaking with the people in our department.  Our gut reaction was to freak out and some of us immediately thought of the movie Office Space.  But after putting a few pieces together, we realized this was not so much about us, but about our management and their leadership.

Anyways, we were all able to air our grievances and it was clear that there was a common theme.  I came out of my hour long session with her feeling refreshed – and like I just had a session of therapy.

That night we were at a coworker’s place having dinner and afterwards we watched the movie together – we thought it’d be appropriate after what just happened.  It is really something different watching that movie with your fellow coworkers.  We were just dying.
