A MANAGER who kept talking about company loyalty has left without hesitation for more cash.
Despite spending years praising marketing company HLJ and its staff, middle manager Roy Hobbs unexpectedly left on Friday without appearing remotely concerned.
Co-worker Donna Sheridan said: “Roy was always saying how great the company was and organising joyless, time-consuming activities like rounders and juggling workshops.
“Over the years he’s claimed the company really looks after you, that he’s made some amazing friends here and we’re like a big family. He made it sound like Hogwarts with pay.
“But when Roy came in on Friday and said he’d got a better job he hadn’t told anyone about then left without saying goodbye.
“Promoting loyalty was just his way of making us work hard without asking for more money. I almost respect his soulless cunning.”
Hobbs said: “I’m gutted to have left such a great company, I loved the people although their individual names now escape me. If it wasn’t for my new company BMW and other perks I’d probably have to go to the doctor for some pills.
“Luckily my new employer is great and really rewards loyalty. I’ve already made some amazing friends there. We’re like a big family.”
