Departmental Anomalies
INTERNALSeveral departments exhibit behaviour that cannot be explained by conventional organisational theory. Department Recursion's org chart is a fractal. Department Null technically does not exist. Department Time's meetings occur before they are scheduled. Department Quantum's employee count depends on who is counting. These anomalies are classified as 'Working As Intended.'
