Aaron checked the time and sighed, he may be a 47 year old with a dead end job, but that dead end job still paid the mortgage and put food on the table. Plus trouble at work would only create new arguments with Mallory.
Getting dressed and presentable he heads off in his car to work. He though on what awaited him. Upper manager with their out of touch insane whims and nepotism. Lower employees constantly causing issues and often getting away with it because their cousin or whatever is Aaron’s superior. Not to mention interns scurrying about and goofing off.
And his ‘peers’ would constantly sabotage his section so that their own would get better review, more bonuses and vacation time.
Pulling up into the parking lot of his workplace he exits the car and begins walking into the building.
“I,D please sir” a security guard stops him as he heads through the lobby.
Annoyed, he takes out his corporate I.D “Christ Carl, I come through here all the time.” Is what he wants to say but instead he keeps his mouth shut. He doesn’t want anyone accusing him of creating a ‘toxic work environment’ and getting him sent to unpaid sensitivity training.
The guard eyes the I.D before giving it back and sending Aaron on his way. Heading up the elevator he reaches his floor.
The office is lively, some working, some gossiping and some plain goofing off. He sees his office on the other end, although he should probably check around the cubicles first. He’ll also have to check if he has any meetings.
