The "Onion Group" strikes again!!!!

Well, the "Onion group" delivered on their promise to lock us in! When we all arrived for our morning meeting at 9.30am this morning (8/12/08) we were all locked in with the exception of our "mini GM" and HR Mgr who were called out for negotiations to their demands! They did not even let us go to the loo at one point and we had to argue for a while for them to finally allow us to go. Of course food and drinks was out of the question! It was a small room however and there were about 10 of us there,so we played games and kept ourselves occupied. We covered all sorts of topic from politics to religion to mundane stuff just to make sure we were always in high spirits. Amidst all this, some of us even managed to catch some zzzz's...
Suffice to sat it was a real emotional ordeal but we tried not to show it, while all this was going on the group themselves parked in front of the meeting room, though I'm pretty sure they had food and drinks!
After about 6 hours in lock down, the issue was finally resolved! What an ordeal! After which then group had the audacity to "thank"us for our cooperation! This is truly an experience and one that will be in my memory for a while. I don't know if there will be anymore of such acts but there is always a first for everything and THIS was certainly a first!
So I'm now counting down the days,eagerly waiting for my departure even for a temporary while away from this maddening place!
