  There was a DJ over there for weeks on end. Like every day, DJ was out in the parking lot. It was surreal coming into the job and wondering why the were paying for a DJ to come to a mostly empty parking lot/building.

    Nero playing music as Rome was burning kinda thing.

    That’s surreal for sure.

    Sounds like something right out of Mike Judge’s Silicon Valley series.

      Boardroom:

      • people will like coming into the office if we create a fun atmosphere
      • like a party!
      • we can’t have an actual party
      • ok, how about a DJ

      HR, legal, and so on: they can go in the parking lot.

      Weeks later an admin is told to book a DJ, I don’t care what it costs but they have to work in the parking lot.

      DJ has to be set up in the parking lot but will only do it if they can be there all day otherwise too much set up and take down.

      Ok, if they have to be here I want them playing all the time. Otherwise, we are wasting money.

      Contract shows up with “daily, renewed every month unless 30 days written notice.”

      And so on.
