Which Fonterra team has been chided for all play and no work?

Private Bin was enjoying a weekend barbecue when it heard a tail of woe from workers at the country’s dairy giant.

Out-of-town bosses, so went the story, were unimpressed when on a recent site inspection they found no workers at their desks.

No workers in the coffee room, no workers in the loos, no workers in the office – how the bosses were confused!

They looked up hill and down dale and still could not find their employees – until one underling confessed their whereabouts: the team was playing table tennis.

The table had been an initiative to up staff morale, but after the unimpressive office walkabout, it soon was no more.

As was, most likely, the staff morale.
