The View from Fez - workplace chaos!

The latest office water cooler


We thought you might appreciate a behind the scenes look inside the View from Fez office. It is not your usual layout of editorial, pictorial and management. Instead we have a more egalitarian setup. The photograph (above) shows several of trainee-journalists installing the staff water cooler.

The picture (below) shows the excitement when staff discover that the Night Editor has been found. Missing for several days, he was discovered behind a false wall. His safe return was cause for much cheering and drinking of mint tea.

The staff canteen is small but much appreciated. The fact that we only have two chairs does mean staff must queue for lunch and the picturesque open-air setting does much to relieve workplace stress.

The View from Fez likes to boast that we have the latest in hi-tech office equipment and to back this up we can show you (pictured below) the installation of cables carrying information from one office to the other. We also intend to install electricity in the near future.

In our front office our latest recruit happily sits peddling the generator to run her laptop. Mrs Rachid-Gabrielebitz is our trainee receptionist and tea lady.

Very aware of workplace health issues, we have installed a fitness centre where the staff and managers can share time together keeping fit. It also provides a wonderful chance for the staff to mingle with their bosses in an informal atmosphere.

Messy but seems like an eviable office atmosphere ... kind of all together in the trenches.

Good luck with it.
