I loved this when it went out - it was so funny and seemed to far fetched, so extreme.
But now in the real world the council will I work is moving out of its old 1930s council building into an office EXACTLY like this. So much so that it is as if this as not a fake documentary but a real one, and our relocation team have been watching it. Avidly.
"Inspiring" bollocks on the walls? Check Glass walled meeting rooms? Check Touchdown desks where you could be sitting next to anyone, but no-one from your team? Check Load of middle managers talking bollocks like some crazy cult? Check
Seriously. W1A is less a comedy and more an awful warning about the future of office life for everyone.
You laughed. But this is the future. You have been warned.
