Welcome to the Office Circus: Clowning in Cubicles Since 9AM

From the Unmuted Memoirs™ Satire Series by Kate Henry, CPA, CMA, MBA

Every Desk Is a Ring, Every Role a Performance

Corporate life isn’t just a grind—it’s a three-ring circus. There’s drama, acrobatics, juggling, and plenty of clowning… usually all before your second coffee.

Cast of Characters

• The Ringmaster (CEO): Speaks in metaphors. Vanishes for months. Returns with a “bold new vision.”

• The Tightrope Walkers (Middle Managers): Balancing employee happiness and unrealistic KPIs with the grace of someone about to fall into HR complaints.

• The Jugglers (Project Leads): Juggling 12 deliverables, 4 timelines, 0 resources, and 1 existential crisis.

• The Clowns (HR during Succession Planning): Distracting everyone with balloon charts and vague policies.

Admission Costs: Your Sanity

To enter the office circus, simply click “accept” on the Outlook invite labeled “Quarterly Alignment.” Snacks not included.

The Acts

• Juggling Priorities: Watch as initiatives are thrown into the air and caught by… no one. They hit the floor. We pretend it was part of the act.

• Acrobatics of Communication: Leaping through hoops of ambiguity. Somersaulting over Slack threads. Landing on unread email chains.

• The Fire Breather: That one manager who sends ALL CAPS emails and is mysteriously “passionate” about document version control.

🎤 Behind the Curtain

Like any good circus, what happens backstage is even weirder. That’s where office politics simmer, gossip thrives, and the intern mysteriously disappears after the all-hands meeting.

Survival Tip

Bring your own popcorn. You’ll need it.

And maybe a helmet, a resignation letter, and a stress ball shaped like a flaming hoop.
