Every day UTC receives a ton of what seems to be the PR trick of the moment: sales pitches disguised as research. So when an online office furniture company sent him a ‘research-based’ release listing “the awkward situations” that office workers have walked in on, he knew he was onto a winner.
According to this ‘study’, 25% had chanced upon a disciplinary meeting, 21% had stumbled into a heart-to-heart and 8% had walked in on an “intimate encounter”. Panic not, however. Said office supplies outfit had just the dab to avoid such embarrassing accidents: a meeting room name generator.
UTC wondered out loud if the generator had a ‘don’t come in because I’m sacking this nugget’ option, or maybe a ‘don’t come in because I’m dry-humping my secretary’ setting.
