While some people fear clowns, apparently others consider clowns to be defensive weapons. In one New Zealand case, an employee about to be fired turned to a clown for support.
A Kiwi adman has chosen an unusual support person to accompany him to a redundancy meeting.
In lieu of the usual suspects of a friend, colleague or family member, the member of the creative team at FCB hired a professional clown to attend the meeting with him.
An image sent to the Herald overnight shows the staffer, sitting alongside his support clown while he talks to the individuals running the meeting.
The Herald understands that the clown blew up balloons and folded them into a series of animals throughout the meeting.
It's further understood that the clown mimed crying when the redundancy paperwork was handed over to the staffer.
Infocult in HR!
