Fire Fighting Machine.
There's always one person in every agency who brings the whole place down.
Always one person who isn't really up to pace with everyone else.
Always one person who's just a little bit shit.
There's a good chance that person is you, after all you are reading this rather than doing your job. But we're not interested in you right now, we're thinking about ourselves. We want to get rid of the dead wood and we're giving one lucky person the chance to make the decision on who should go for us.
The 5000th follower of our @fightingmachine Twitter account will be the person with the power in their hands. They will get to sack whoever they like and their word is final. The day after our 5000th follower arrives everyone inside Lean Mean Fighting Machine towers will be making a plea as to why they think they should stay. Based on those pleas (or just a general hatred for someone) our newly controlling follower's decision shall be made.
You game? Good. It could be you.
We'll all get rewriting our CV's.

Surely Parker is a shoe in? Can you mail me when you get near to 5,000.
Can I please have the sack? I’m a giant waste of space that likes to wear red trousers and brown brogues.
Tell me about it, Will.
Andy – he’s consistently failed to complete his timesheets since starting. I don’t know why I bother quite frankly.
The cleaners have also said that they keep finding Will lurking by the girls toilets too.
I say lets sack the bastard.
Do you have oranges at this agency?
There’s a distinct lack of fresh, peal-able fruit in our office.
Which is a shame as I often get inspiration from fruit when I write my briefs.
Clearly this is set up somehow to ensure that you don’t really fire a person at random, but that doesn’t really matter. Crazy, fascinating idea.
Right, upping the ante here. I will shoot the grads when we get to 10,000 followers.
Are you talking back, SACK and crack?

Sorry, Chiddy. Had to axe the oranges budget. Louboutins fund was running dry.
Parker surely a serious contender, no?

Where’s my P45? I haven’t done a stroke of work for this place
