Friday funnies: Home office fiction vs reality

by Sarah Dillon

There’s a funny post over at new media producer Ian MacKenzie’s blog, contrasting what home office workers want you to think they are doing with what they are actually doing. Strangely enough, it reminds me more of my experiences working in a call centre than a home office. Much like working in the food industry, you really cannot imagine what goes on behind the scenes until you’ve worked in one yourself 🙂
