Charlie
Where the hell are you? Mike’s on the warpath.
You’re the target, by the way.
Thanks, Stevie.
I fire the phone back into my bag and barge through the glass doors of
Dunley Tech, doused in the perfume of the London underground.
Jackie, our darling receptionist, looks up from whatever influencer’s
Instagram she’s trying to imitate this week. She has packed so much powder
on her face she looks like a cake.
“Morning,” I nod curtly.
“Wow” She drags her eyes from the screen. “Your skin looks really….”
I raise my eyebrows, waiting.
“Grey.” She went on. “Were you boozing last night?”
“Thanks, Jackie,“ I replied, fumbling to find my security pass in my bag.
“That’s almost as nice as when you asked me if I had washed my hair in
conditioner. I was up until 3am sorting out the server outage if you must
know. “
“Fascinating.” She turns back to Instagram. “They have started without
you. Mike’s raging. He says you better be ill or dead to be this late.”
Damn.
I look at my watch. It’s 10.20 already.
Mike Chambers is our Head of IT., has been since the company started a
decade ago.
An absolute dinosaur in the workplace. He hates change and any ideas
that don’t come from him.
Greasy, uptight, and in desperate need of a good seeing to. We are sure
he’s a 50-year-old virgin.
I brace myself and push the doors of the boardroom open. It’s our weekly
management meeting where the team sits through Mike’s dick swinging with
a slideshow in the background. He rants and stomps his feet for an hour while
the rest of us patiently wait for the peacocking show to draw final curtains.
Everyone has strategically chosen seats far from Mike. I walk to the only
remaining seat right beside him.
Great. I haven’t even had my own coffee yet; now I have to smell his
rancid breath.
“Sorry, Mike, I’m running late this morning.“
He leans over, breathing right in my face. If he comes any closer, I’m
going to dry retch.
“I can see that. We are discussing why the India office was offline for two
and half hours last night. That meant thirty staff members were unable to do
any work at all. Not one line of code written!”
“I understand your frustration Mike -” I start.
“That means horse shit, Charlie.” He slams his fist down on the table,
making the room wince.
“Can you explain what happened here? Can you explain to the board why
our most critical software release won’t be out in time?”
He leans over the table, jutting his finger in my face. “Can you explain
what the fuck went wrong?”
I draw in a sharp breath and refrain from vomiting profanities at him. “It
was a problem with the network again. As soon as I established the problem,
we had a severity 1 call out. This was the fastest they would do it in.”
“The fastest?” He scoffs. “Don’t be ridiculous. Who fucked up here? I.
NEED. ANSWERS.”
