Does this office argument sound familiar...? “WHAT DO YOU MEAN IT’S MY TURN TO MAKE TEA, SANDRA? This’ll be my third round on the bounce! You’ve been pretending to be on a conference call for three hours. YOU’RE NOT FOOLING ANYONE!”The HR department at Mellor&Smith was buckling under the strain of mediating daily, intra-office spats. But it wasn’t just arguments about tea. It was everything. Dirty dishes, recycling, a round of beers. No one could remember whose turn it was. We needed a solution, so we took Mellor&Smith’s best developers, designers and copywriters and locked them in a room until they birthed one.RiskyPicker allows you to randomly pick a user to get off their backsides and get on with the task in hand, saving blazing arguments in offices up and down the country.
