|
I come bearing good news, fellow Co-CEO!
|
|
You don't need to say "Co-CEO". Just "CEO" is fine. "Fellow" already implies that we're both CEOs.
|
|
*under breath* English majors make the worst tech execs.
|
|
What was that?
|
|
Anyway, we've got a new round of angel investment so CarGo can proceed with its expansion plans!
|
|
You mean your parents' friends ponied up another round of cash?
|
|
*under breath* Just the worst.
|
|
What was that?
|
Task: "Make Antoine and Zora Plan Company Expansion". The job takes place at CarGo and takes 4 hours.
|
|
If we expand our manufacturing capacity by 8% we should have enough money left over to hire the salespeople we need to hit our distribution goals.
|
|
But we won't be able to maintain our requirement of having a food cart every fifty feet on our corporate campus.
|
|
Well, we could hire 25% of the salespeople on commission and change the requirement to every sixty feet.
|
|
Would that work?
|
|
*looks at fingernails* I minored in statistics.

|
|
Thank you for interviewing with us. It's an entry level admin position, with other duties as assigned to support the senior staff.
|
|
So, I'll have to make coffee runs even though you have one of those fancy European coffee makers every sixty feet or so. Got it.
|
|
Yes. The ability to multitask is going to be very important in this position.
|
|
Understood. So I'll be doing the work of three people while getting paid half of what one should make; work too few hours to be considered full time...
|
|
...and, once I do qualify for benefits, you'll replace me.
|
|
You seem to have a lot of insight into the job-hiring process.
|
|
Did you look at my resume?
|
|
It's twenty-four pages long. I tuned out after a while.
|
Task: "Make Antoine and Zora Marvel at Epic Resume". The job takes place at CarGo and takes 4 hours. If Squeaky Voice Teen is owned: Task: "Make Squeaky Voice Teen Recall His Many, Many Jobs". The job takes place at CarGo and takes 4 hours.
|
|
I've never met anyone who's worked so many different jobs before.
|
|
Sometimes it feels like I'm in purgatory, forced to work a series of random service industry jobs at the behest of a pantheon of devious gods who think they're more clever than they actually are.
|
|
Uh-huh. How soon can you start?

After tapping on Antoine and Zora's exclamation mark
|
|
We're very excited to be talking to you about one of our "code ninja" positions!
|
|
"Code ninja". Is that supposed to make me happy to be programming eighty hours a week without getting paid overtime?
|
|
You do get paid over time!
|
|
Did...did you say overtime or over-pause-time?
|
|
You're a good listener. I like that in a candidate. NEXT!
|
|
Are you prepared to work in a dynamic work environment?
|
|
Meaning that you keep changing priorities as soon as you see something new and shiny on the Tech News Network.
|
|
That's insightful. I like that in a candidate. NEXT!
|
|
What do you think you can contribute to an agile development team?
|
|
Do you realize your use of the word agile is—?
|
|
NEXT!
|
Task: "Make Antoine and Zora Read "Hiring for Dum-Dums"". The job takes place at CarGo and takes 4 hours.
|
|
This is stupid! We're already doing everything the book says.
|
|
I have a great idea. Two words: Travel mugs!
|
|
For us?
|
|
We put our logo on them and give them to new hires.
|
|
*thinking*
|
|
And for us.
|
|
That's brilliant!

|
After tapping on Antoine and Zora's exclamation mark
|
|
Can we help you?
|
|
Yes, I am here to apply for a job.
|
|
We're a hi-tech automotive startup. I don't think—
|
|
Yes, and I am the CEO of Compu-Global-Hyper-Mega-Net. We're a cutting-edge internet company that does internet things that make a lot of money.
|
|
Uh, one moment, sir. I need to step outside and speak with my fellow Co-CEO.
|
|
Indeed. And I will partake in these tech company snacks that seem ten feet further apart than normal.
|
|
What's wrong?
|
|
Don't you get it? He's an undercover boss!
|
|
*gasp* How did I not see it? He's dressed like a complete slob! Wait, but we don't have bosses. We ARE the bosses.
|
|
He's not our boss. He's the boss of Compu-Global-Hyper-Mega-Net and he's who's gonna try a hostile takeover on us. He's clearly undercover and scoping us out.
|
|
But...if he was undercover, why would he tell the truth about being the CEO of Compu-Global-Hyper-Mega-Net?
|
|
That's how deep undercover he is!
|
|
Oof, this takeover is gonna get hostile.
|
Task: "Make Antoine and Zora Panic About a Hostile Takeover". The job takes place at CarGo and takes 4 hours. Task: "Make Homer Begrudgingly Walk an Extra Ten Feet". The job takes place at [{CarGo]] and takes 4 hours.
|
|
Sir, we appreciate you coming down here to check out our operation, but really, CarGo is such a small operation, I'm sure, compared to Compu-Global-Hyper-Net—
|
|
Compu-Global-Hyper-MEGA-Net!
|
|
Right, that. Really, it wouldn't be worth your time to even consider us.
|
|
But we were wondering if maybe there was something we could do for you, so that you would could just...go away and...forget about anything hostile....
|
|
What did you have in mind?
|
|
How does two-thousand CarGo stock options sound?
|
|
What about one of those travel mugs you give to new hires?
|
|
Deal!
