New Office Manager
A VERY GOOD USE OF YOUR TIME.

The setup

An office boss tries to announce the new manager, but every mention of the appointee's name sets off the same furious chorus from his staff.

The premise

Here’s the bit.

A manager gathers his staff to reveal who has been promoted to office manager, and the moment he names the winner the room erupts in identical outrage. Each time he tries to explain the board's thinking, mention the runner-up or confess his own preferred candidate, the name comes up again and the staff fire back the same burst of disbelief and insults, even when he muddles it with similar-sounding names. Wrapping up, he tries to lift spirits by pointing out an even worse alternative, and the office's fury instantly turns into gleeful laughter.

Say it with us

Highly quotable.

I personally would have preferred Tom Harbison.

It could have been worse. It could have been Mandy Ward.

The rabbit hole continues

One more couldn’t hurt.
