In season 1, episode 3, titled "Management Training," the employees of Swift and Shift Couriers find out that they will be getting a new boss, Ian Fitzgerald. Mr. Fitzgerald is a no-nonsense businessman who is determined to whip the company into shape and turn it into a profitable venture. However, his methods of management are a bit unorthodox, to say the least.

The episode begins with Mr. Fitzgerald introducing himself to the employees of Swift and Shift Couriers. He is immediately met with hostility from most of the employees, who are already unhappy with the company's current management. To win them over, Mr. Fitzgerald decides to take the entire staff on a team-building retreat.

The retreat takes place in a remote location, and the employees are forced to participate in various team-building exercises designed to build trust, improve communication, and foster teamwork. However, the exercises quickly turn into a farce, with the employees bickering, arguing, and making fun of each other at every turn.

Meanwhile, back at the office, the company's most incompetent employee, Keith Warne, is left in charge of the warehouse. Keith's lack of management skills quickly becomes apparent, and chaos ensues. The clients' packages are mishandled and misplaced, and the warehouse quickly turns into a disaster zone.

As the episode progresses, the rift between Mr. Fitzgerald and the employees grows wider. Mr. Fitzgerald's harsh and unrelenting management style clashes with the employees' laid-back and carefree attitude, leading to a series of hilarious confrontations.

In classic Swift and Shift Couriers fashion, the episode features a number of hilarious side-plots, including Raj's struggle to quit smoking, Amanda's desperate attempts to impress Mr. Fitzgerald, and Mario's hilarious attempts to win back his ex-girlfriend.

Overall, "Management Training" is a hilarious episode of Swift and Shift Couriers that perfectly captures the show's irreverent humor and unique brand of satire. Whether you're a longtime fan of the show or a newcomer looking for a good laugh, this episode is not to be missed.
