Why is Vic ticked?

Gretchen "printed off" your latest contribution to our public forum, Vic, and I thought I'd address some of the more troubling aspects.

(1) The Wexler contract. If a partner assigns you work, you must do it for the good of the firm. If we go around turning down work, we'll all be on the bread lines.
(2) Ayn Rand audiobooks. Please consult your work contract—Ayn Rand literature falls under pornography, which is not allowed on Panini & Rye property because it sets a bad example for the younger staff.
(3) The ethics agreement. Again, consult your work contract. If you are offered a partnership, you will have the opportunity to renegotiate these matters. So, the best way of getting out from under the contract is to get at the work. C'mon, Vic old buddy, we're all pulling for you!
(4) Roger Neff. I believe I've already stated what happened in Montreal. Idle speculation will only empower those who would bring this firm down, and I. Will. Not. Let. That. Happen.
(5) The espresso fund. Until you make partner, you'll be obliged to pay into the coffee fund. One for all and all for one. Be a team guy, Vic!

Some other concerns:
Does Mr. Livermore still work here? I see that his paychecks are still cashed, but I never see him in the hallways. Could someone check on this for me?

Whose turn is it to shovel? I paid good money for my loafers and I don't think trudging from the curb to the building does them any good.

I'm unimpressed by the juvenile antics of taking bites out of all the donuts in the break room but leaving the remainder on the counter. If there is a point behind all this, please tell Gretchen.

The new year is proving as stressful as the last. I'm hopeful that once Mrs. Clinton is installed as Secretary of State, everyone around here can relax a bit and start feeling hopeful once more.

  1. Maybe Vic should take some of those vacation days he's accrued! That should take the edge off. :)
