A BUSINESS has rewarded its employees for their long hours at work with more hours at work.
Staff at Malley Ventures were promised ‘a little bonus’ for working so hard but were disappointed when it was not monetary in value and involved spending even more time at the office.
Marketing manager Lauren Hewitt said: “They said we’d have an evening treat, which we thought meant going to the pub on the company credit card, but we had to spend it here. On the premises.
“They’d booked someone to do some mindfulness sessions, which I do believe can help to reduce stress, but not as much as getting shitfaced and slagging off Janice from accounts. That’s genuine catharsis.
“Instead we had a ‘sharing circle’ where we had to talk about the pressures we felt in our jobs. Everyone said things like ‘high workload’ when you knew what they wanted to say was ‘the boss is a massive prick’.
“And then we all lay down on yoga mats and did a guided meditation. It was nice enough but I was lying next to Carole’s bin where she’d discarded the remains of her tuna and onion sandwich, so I struggled to find my mind palace.”
CEO Stephen Malley said: “Feeling better, valued employees? Good. You’d better work twice as f**king hard on Monday, you lazy shits.”
