Are your sheep always turning up late for work? Are they taking too long on their lunch break or simply struggling to get through the workload? Are they always just mucking about?

I was recently speaking to a small local charity who said
'a large company has selected us as their charity of the year! The prize: some interns from the company will build us a CRM!'

This made me tap the sign 👇

Why the warning? 🧵
