Wow reading this thread is so interesting. It reminds me of an absolute diabolical place I once worked. Husband and wife owned the company together, but often dragged their personal lives into work. We were all employed as admin/order processors for their service which they were both qualified in. More often than not they’d have to send us admin staff out to collect their kids from school. They thought they were justified in this due to the fact they provided company cars. They clearly hated eachother and would
witch about one another to us staff. Then it came around that they were getting a divorce and would have personal phone calls in the office about lawyers and custody of their kids, shouting at eachother and fighting and police having to be called to the office. Their house was quite close to the office so they’d often call us over to their house to collect stuff, deal with letters, let the dog out etc. The final straw for my colleague was when the man was just moving out and the woman had been away on holiday, anyway he had left the house an absolute tip whilst she was away and done no housework. He called the office and asked my colleague to nip over and help him tidy up before she got home
He was going on at my colleague asking her to do the hoovering quicker as she’d be due back any minute. It was all very ODD. Then another occasion the man had trod in glass and he asked us to help him get it out. We all left shortly after and the business went under. It was fantastic comedy at the time.
