"I feel like a mushroom: alone in the dark, left to grow on my own."

Heeey, my colleague and I were trading this line about during our time at the old office, where we kept having power failures because of the illegal wiring..

[tristella]

Is the mushroom line a common Singaporean thing or have I just never been in middle management before?

[msbrightside]

Don't know, but isn't it apt!

[tinymich]

that's not an uncommon line, actually -- when Ai told me about it, they called it "Mushroom Management" -- keep them in the dark, and occasionally throw shit on top of them.

[tristella]

It makes perfect sense, but I wonder why I've never heard it before... not in the UK anyway. Am wondering if it is some Singaporean thing, or whether I was just previously not clued into middle management-snark.

[tinymich]

I think it's a Singaporean thing... I've never heard it here in the US.

oh, and I *heart* Addison. But you knew that.
