Occasional Digest - a story for you

AN office worker has exposed his lack of mental faculties by describing the solution to a complicated work problem as a ‘no-brainer’.

The use of an annoying informal term in a corporate environment has confirmed the suspicions of Martin, not his real name, colleagues that the interior of his skull is devoid of sophisticated thought processes.

Co-worker Sofia, not he real name, said: “I always thought Martin acted dim to avoid responsibility. Like when he claimed to have never heard of Microsoft Excel.

“But only an actual imbecile would pipe up in a town hall meeting to describe a company merger as a ‘no-brainer’. You could tell from his proud face that he thought we were all laughing with him, not at him.

“Then he doubled down by telling the CEO to bang some heads together, knuckle down, and make some bloody magic happen. I wish I could say he didn’t pretend to do a mic drop while saying ‘bosh’. I really do.

“It’s not very PC, and I sound like a hypocrite, but I’ll be using no-brainer to describe Martin going forwards. It just fits.”

Martin said: “I’ve been inspired to finally send off my Apprentice application. I reckon I can go all the way.”
