--- Quote from: Welu on 27 Nov 2017, 07:42 ---For the posts about Tilly's work damaging entry level employees, definitely possible but I'd be hopeful that Tilly would be able to quickly get access to higher ups with the type of authority to okay those deals. In my experience, depending on the level you are/are dealing with, there is a hard line in what they can actually do, no matter how persistent the customer is being. Although that doesn't mean the higher up won't get into trouble either.

The sort of aggressive negotiation game Tilly plays involves escalating to higher-ups after already manipulating the entry level worker as far as possible, massively spinning what the previous person agreed to as a starting position, and then manipulating the next person as far as *they* can go. Rinse, repeat, and after three or four rounds you walk away with a spectacular deal while low-level workers are left holding the bag.

Or so you hear? :angel:
Zebediah:
Comic’s up.
Today we learn what Hannelore’s favorite color is.
shanejayell:
The fact that the dossier got something that basic WRONG says depressing things about how well her Mom knows Hanners.
TheEvilDog:
We already knew that Beatrice didn't know that much about Hanners, that she smoked, drank or had her ears repeated pierced.
But really, its a sign of how out of touch that Beatrice is with her own daughter, given that the dossier is out of date and possesses the wrong information.
But its also a sign of how desperate Tilly is to make a good first impression that she's based her enter strategy around wrong information. Which is kinda depressing...and a little pathetic...

There isn't really large enough spiders that you'd need a weapon like that (unless Jeph has quietly moved the setting to Australia without mentioning it). ...

Are you forgetting the Library Spiders? Marten and/or Claire may have inadvertently carried some eggs into Coffee of Doom.:-P
