Transcript:

Carl: Hello, Ollie! What I really wanted to do today was get you talking about how incredible it is to work with me. I mean, in many ways, working with me must be the best thing you’ve ever done in your life—possibly the best thing you could imagine doing. What do you think?

Ollie: Well, Carl, what’s great about you is your impeccable timing. You only ever call at unsociable hours and only email on the weekends—it’s phenomenal, really. It’s as if you have a sixth sense for when I’m most relaxed and happy, and that’s exactly when you strike.

Carl: Exactly! That’s when creativity happens!

Ollie: Absolutely. And I love how you set deadlines. Some people give a comfortable two-week timeframe, but you? You believe in pushing the boundaries of time itself. You set deadlines two weeks ago! It keeps things exciting, keeps me on my toes.

Carl: I knew you’d appreciate that. I also loved that weekend when you read Ulysses by James Joyce back to me and said, “Can’t we just do one of those?”

Ollie: To be fair, your writing is… well, it’s fine. It’s not quite Shakespeare or Joyce, but, you know, it’s… fine.

Carl: High praise! I do appreciate how much you improve my work, though. There’s always more red pen on my documents than black ink by the time you’re finished.

Ollie: That’s just my way of helping you reach your full potential. And, of course, your motivational report cards have been a fantastic addition to my life.

Carl: I like you to know where you’re failing. And I thought surprising you with a performance review on your birthday was particularly thoughtful.

Ollie: Definitely memorable. Going from an E to a D was a career highlight for me.

Carl: And the trophy I got you? Did you like that?

Ollie: The inappropriate trophy that arrived on Christmas Day? That was a surprise. But then again, you did ask for a Christmas Day blog to be published every hour on the hour.

Carl: Well, that’s when people want content, Ollie!

Ollie: And nothing says “festive cheer” like a Christmas blog schedule that runs like clockwork.

Carl: Exactly! And what did I get you last year? A dictionary, wasn’t it?

Ollie: Yes, with a subtle suggestion that I might benefit from reading it. You highlighted every single word.

Carl: Well, some words are more important than others. And in this case, all of them.

Ollie: Indeed.

Carl: So, if you could sum up working with me in three words, what would they be?

Ollie: Nerve-inducing. Happiness. Happiness. Happiness-inducing.

Carl: I like that! Should we make it the company strapline?

Ollie: That would be… fitting.

So, if you’ve ever wondered what it’s like to work at Woodfarm, there you have it—pure joy, a little bit of chaos, and a lot of creativity! If you’re thinking of joining the team, just know that we like to keep things interesting.
