    The Open Office Plan Has Many Open Boxes

    At Midnight Zoomies Staffing, we try to keep things simple, which means we complicate them and then take a nap.

    Our team did a careful study. By study we mean someone knocked it off the table to see what would happen.

    The Short Version, Told Slowly

    Our standard approach involves a talent pool that is mostly a laundry basket, followed by a nap room that is every room, followed by a brief and unexplained sprint.

    Experts agree that a talent pool that is mostly a laundry basket is essential. Experts also agree that this is a very long way of asking for a snack.

    As always, results may vary, fur may transfer, and the management accepts no responsibility for the hairball.
