Is it cold in here?:
--- Quote from: imaginary Hannelore ---Ms. Birch, how would you like to be in charge of an entire organization?
Put together the papers and planning for my new venture, a legal defense fund for victims of my mother.

I know several forum members have mentioned fear of Beatrice's wrath as a reason Tilly can't take no for an answer, but shouldn't she have mentioned that by now? To gain Hannelore's sympathy, if for no other reason. Instead Tilly just refuses to leave until Hanners gets worn down by sheer persistence, which casts doubt about just how badly it would go for her if she failed, in my mind at least, and also makes her much more annoying as well.

Why break out the Mom card though? I'm pretty sure that Tilly knew of Beatrice's reputation before being assigned the job (and surely any job would mean you'd research your new boss), and I'm pretty sure that Tilly would know her mother better than her. Even if half the stories about what Beatrice has done is true, than Hanners wouldn't need to be told about her mother's wrath, she already knows what her mother is capable of.

I think my main issue with Tilly is the fact that she is being pushed onto the very last person who - to my mind - can deal well with something like this. Dora would have been hilarious. Faye/Bubbles as well. Sven most definitely. But Hannelore? No, that only seems like it's gonna be a highway to a nervous breakdown considering how she acted when Clinton got creepy with her during their first meeting. Her "cheer" etc. just comes across as an indoctrinated businessman's. She probably will stick around, but I honestly can't say I am the least excited about it.

--- Quote from: JimC on 13 Nov 2017, 00:13 ---Exactly. No-one ever advanced their career by demonstrating their management has a problem with their "New clothes".
I'm rather reminded of Sven's Intern.

Who did in fact point out a problem with his clothes... (1230)

Except Tilly isn’t there to learn anything. If she were assigned to Sven she’d have no problem doing his housework.
