The Scenario:This rumour mill cartoon captures the overwhelming speed of informal office communication.
A new hire, still trying to find their desk, is immediately swept up in the complex "grind" of office secrets and workplace whispers.
It parodies the reality that most employees learn more about company politics in their first hour of gossip than in their first month of formal training.
The Observation: This narrative identifies the "Information Overload" that happens before a laptop is even unboxed.
At Kaapi with Ravi, we observe that the rumour mill is the most efficient indoctrination tool a company (unintentionally) possesses.
This post highlights that "Day One" isn't about learning the software—it's about learning whose side you're supposed to be on.
The office rumour mill is the only piece of corporate equipment that never needs a software update and works perfectly even during a power outage.
