WICHITA, Kan. – Following a brief shift in oversight, employees at the Wichita-area Office Depot reported that assistant manager Gary Chatham had clearly become buzzed with power.
“The regular manager, Mike, had to take care of some family stuff today,” cashier Abby Rios said. “So Gary’s in charge right now, and I’ll tell you, he’s really slightly overstepping his bounds.”
Examples of Chatham’s power displays include creating standardized employee name tags for the break room lockers, reducing coffee sweetener allowances from two packages to one, placing Heather on sink duty, and making a display stand for light-up pens.
“Light-up pens? Really?” asked help desk worker Brett Garnett. “Pretty soon this guy might go too far.”
At press time, Chatham was heard announcing some possible changes to the Tuesday schedule, adding, “If that’s cool with everyone.”
