If
you’re
one
of
those
lawyers
toiling
away
at
the
firm
and
dreaming
of
a
nice
in-house
job,
consider
the
plight
of
this
chief
legal
officer.
Sure,
serving
the
Willy
Wonka
chocolate
factory
was
a
dream
job
for
a
lot
of
years,
but
then
one
day
the
boss
decided
to
run
that
Golden
Ticket
contest
and
everything
went
off
the
rails
from
there.
Minor
Character
Theater
has
a
mockumentary
profiling
a
trying
time
in
the
life
of
Rutgers
Law
grad
Brian
Finklebar,
former
general
counsel
to
the
Wonka
company.
This
is
only
the
first
of
a
six-part
series.
You
can
check
out
the
whole
run
over
on
TikTok,
including
an
inside
look
at
the
creation
of
the
company’s
infamous
waiver,
Oompa
Loompa
overtime,
and
what
Willy
Wonka
learned
from
Succession.
(Also,
if
you’re
in
law
school
and
think
you
can
create
content
like
this,
you
have
the
rest
of
this
week
to
enter
the
Law
Revue
contest.)
