What is MNHQ really like?

Is it like a call centre with little cells cubicles for staff? Or it is a trendy Google type HQ with beanbags and table tennis tables everywhere?

Do you have a list of 25 make up products to wear like "Beauty" counters in shops? Do you all wear polo shirts with MN logos on? Or boiler suits and funny caps like the minions in a bond film?

Do you have tai chi before work and sing the Mumsnet anthem? Is there a canteen with Pom Bears and a gin dispenser?

Do you have the recipe for that delicious chocolate pudding cake please.

I've seen MNHQ somewhere before... in DS1's bedroom! You're spying on me from FAB2, aren't you? No wonder DS insists that Thunderbirds are real.

@kelper

AnnMumsnet, in the first photo you posted, could you ask the lady standing at the back in the grey top where she purchased said top, as it looks gorgeous and I want one. As you were....

I asked Kate and she said she got that top about 5 yrs ago, £20 in the sales from a little independent place! - sorry!

will find out, I am not sure!

virgin even my tea wouldn't be good enough. I don't own a proper teapot you see.

AVirginLitTheCandle · 13/01/2017 00:05

AnnMumsnet who are those people in that picture? I have my theories but I'm dying to know if I'm right Grin

But yes that grey top is quite nice.

AVirginLitTheCandle · 13/01/2017 00:04

I'm not middle class enough to fit in proper

Perhaps you could be the tea lady?

Kpo58 · 12/01/2017 23:12

Do you work shifts or is there a specific Night Team?

You think that they are allowed to go home? They actually live in a large cupboard and get daily deliveries of cake ingredients which they have to turn into a new type of cake every day before 8 am.

@NapQueen,Nightwatch run amok keep an eye during the night.
We have a Night watch section where any issues that might need looking at can be posted.

I want to be a MNHQer. But I live too far away and I'm not middle class enough to fit in proper Grin

OutnumberedbyFurchesters · 12/01/2017 22:57

I'd love to work there just for the shouts of "have you seen this thread" and everyone at HQ scrambles to read it.

They then get the stern look as other bun fights are kicking off as they get overly invested in whether the Westminster Bunny was reunited..

I wonder if the ones who post on the threads and keep the peace sit on some sort of stage, and it's every newbies/ temps/bog cleaners dream to graduate to the Stage?

Do you work shifts or is there a specific Night Team? If so are they very pale and grumpy and effing lazy like ours?

MsHooliesCardigan, MNHQ's address used to be on the website - but I've noticed it isn't any more, it was probably deleted after JeffreyGate. But it's in NW London.

And here's their recruitment page www.mumsnet.com/info/jobs-at-mumsnet

@EmmaMumsnet

I'm sure it was a lovely cake and that all the survivors really appreciated it.

paxillin · 09/01/2017 15:03

Bloody hell, Camila Batmanghelidjh didn't wear bright clothes at all, that was merely camouflage to blend into her office!

sarahnova69 · 09/01/2017 14:48

I imagine it done up like Camila Batmanghelidjh's office

I'm pretty sure I'll have a headache all day after looking at that.

TheMortificadosDragon · 09/01/2017 14:38

Take no notice of him, his CBE is 'Cake Brick Envy'.

TanteRose · 09/01/2017 14:34

I've been to HQ - there was no cake Sad

EmmaMumsnet · 09/01/2017 14:29

TiggyD though my "turd brick" of a lemon drizzle cake may not look fancy, I was told it was the best lemon drizzle many MNHQers have ever tasted Cake None of them are in hospital! Wink

TheMortificadosDragon · 09/01/2017 13:10

Uncanny, pura, except for the absence of cake.
