Melbourne – New Marketing Manager Tom ‘Tommy’ Lambert seemed perfect on his resume: Eight years at an ad agency and five more at a tech startup. His resume was perfect on paper. But during his first week in the office doubts started to grow.
When he received his equipment he requested an iPad with green bumper case and asked the IT guy if he can put Bluey on. When he was given his work iPhone he immediately asked what games were on it and proceeded to downloaded Fortnite.
At the first morning tea break his colleagues asked him if he wanted to come to the cafe to get coffee and he pulled a face proclaiming coffee is yucky and ordered apple juice instead.
It got worse. During lunch in the first week his coworkers noticed that he’d bought McDonalds Happy Meals everyday and told everyone within earshot about Roblox and the best type of Pokemon.
The final straw was when he had to work on analysis reports in the afternoon but instead was found napping in his office, which he claims if he didn’t do he’d turn into a grumpy boy.
HR is looking into it.
