Maybe Hanners just needs to give Tilly a sock...?

My first thought after reading this was "Does giving someone a sock have some sort of symbolic signifigance?".

It's from Harry Potter. Giving a house elf (a kind of slave) an article of clothing sets it free.

I don't think it's Hanners' being an ass on purpose, it's her not perceiving Tilly as a person - just like her mother.

Taffy really isn't a person, she's a corporate drone. And Hanners needs to not perceive Taffy as a person in order to not be taken advantage of by Taffy, who is basically Beatrice in a passive-aggressive "nice" persona instead of an aggressive "dominant bitch" persona.

She isn't a person, really? I find that disturbing.
If Hanners wanted Tilly to go, she gave her an out. Not a great one, but one that would give Tilly a way to say that she tried everything and would send an unmistakable message to Beatrice.
Is Tillys idiotic commitment to being a PA annoying? Definitely. Is Beatrice incredibly invasive by hiring Tilly and giving her idiotic instructions that basically tell her to override Hanners' wishes? Yeah, she definitely deserves that Hanners has next to no contact with her.
If Hanners doesn't want to give it a try, she should just send her away, but treating her as less than a person? It's just not really funny

As mentioned previously, though, Tilly is treating Hanners as less than a person too. She seems to be seeing her as an objective, a task, a nut to crack, not a real person who might find this all very uncomfortable.

Yeah dogg someone who is explicitly trained to see to your every need, has been nothing but unfailingly polite and subservient, and whom you agreed to give a chance definitely deserves to be dehumanized and threatened with death lol
Y'all hate on Beatrice, but at least she doesn't try and make these kinds of justifications, damn
TinPenguin:
Polite and subservient would have fucked off the moment they realised they weren't wanted.
Besides, my comment was in response to a discussion on misnaming, not murder.
As for casual death threats, though, they've been a staple of QC, since, uh, comic #4.
