I’ve been at IRL for about a week and a half now. While the stuff I’m doing is quite enjoyable various things are worrying me about the work environment. To illustrate my point, a timeline:
- A few days before starting – it is announced that the two out-lying research arms of the company are to be disbanded.
- Day 1 – I discover that the business plan has a large, fuzzy, bit in the middle entitled “The Great Leap”.
- Day 6 – The CEO resigns, reportedly pushed from a great height.
The people here like Dilbert. They really identify with Dilbert.
