Routine fire drills have been condemned for making workers think the place they hate most will be destroyed.The Daily Mash.
Experts described false fire alarms as ‘inhumane’.
Psychologist Nikki Hollis said: “It’s like giving a cat a massive herring then yanking it away on a piece of string, laughing sadistically while pretending it was a necessary test of the cat’s reflexes.”
Office manager Stephen Malley said: “Whenever the fire alarm goes off there is a wave of euphoria, with team members cheering and deliberately tipping their desks over.
“Last week that turned to a chant of ‘Burn! Burn! Burn!’ and some of the audit team began to empty out their cigarette lighters on a pile on tax return folders.
“However, after half an hour of standing around in the car park while the office fire warden yelled incomprehensibly, staff were ordered to return to their office.
“We were absolutely devastated once it dawned on us that we’d have to return to our dull cube-based lives.”
Call centre operative Roy Hobbs said: “I remember as a kid being promised a Big Trak for Christmas but instead my dad went to prison. That’s what fire drills are like.”
Boss Stephen Malley said: “There is actually no legal obligation to do fire drills. We just like to fuck with their heads.”
Of course.
I used to look forward to fire drills... but the unplanned fire drills were always more exciting. There was always the hope that we could all go home.
