The Blue Blob and the Moving Nameplates

A tiny blue explorer finds an office where the role tags linked people being moved around.

New subject detected

Desk role plate tags moving as the work appears to still be defined.

Scene

The Blue Blob walks into an office where everyone’s desk role titles are being moved.

People are carrying boxes between desks.

The organisation chart on the wall has sticky notes covering half the names.

One employee is holding a sign that says: What is my role now?
