Jane wakes up Monday, sore and exhausted, but also excited for her career prospects, and maybe enjoying all the sex more than she wants to admit. “Ok, I can do this” she says, “the new assistant arrives late tonight; 5’5, 32d, 24, 27; nice and top-heavy, yes, cute, too, from the photo, but also, the fact that the boss mentioned the measurements indicates she can, uh, help with more than paperwork.”
As Jane steps out of the shower, she gets a call. “Yeah. Ok, I can be ready for that. wait what? are you kidding? this is the HR department you’re talking about! Oh, Yeah, that makes sense. sure, I can make that happen.”
Apparently she’s getting the promotion early. Conditional, of course, on continued performance of the whole department, but she’s now the chief human resources officer for the west coast, and unofficially, she’s in charge of performance for the engineering team; Her pay raise is immediate, and they’re paying out a large bonus now; the bonus will be clawed back, and she will be fired if the engineering team doesn’t meet it’s targets,
