--- Quote from: cybersmurf on 28 Aug 2018, 07:51 ---Personally, I've got the feeling Claire is overreacting a bit, but that's on par with her current stats of mind.
Marten didn't have a friend in the building at the time, he just reacted to a job posting in a newspaper, and found the iambic pentameter, that's about all he did. Of course Claire is a bit, well probably both jealous and annoyed, to a good extent rightly so. I would consider it funny if Tai quit for whatever reason and Claire got her position.
Also, I wouldn't call Marten getting that job "privilege", it's just sheer luck. And given Claire being Trans everything probably feels like an uphill battle, even if it didn't have to be, and that adds to the whole situation. Fighting all those battles probably brought her to a better position than taking the easy route, but you're allowed a breather every now and then.

Even though she has the qualifications on paper, I would not recommend her to replace tai. She is ill suited for management role. I know her life has been rough, but when you are a manager you have to be fair, regardless of your battles.

I never said it was a good idea. Might still work out since Marten probably would stand up to her and correct her ways. But that's something we'll probably never see anyway. Maybe she'll take a position in a NY theater library and run into Angus regularly. that's something I consider as probable as my previous idea.

This is a chance for her to grow as a person. As it stands, she is barely tolerable. She is manipulative, treats her Trans like a disability, and rolls with a chip on her shoulder.
All of the attributes which make a terrible boss. Or a perfect boss who is a tyrant

I disagree with the bolded part. Claire's nature as a trans person has never been a disability and bar her family, her boyfriend and Emily, Claire has never advertised that she was trans.
Now, Claire does have something of an attitude problem and she does have a problem keeping her nose out of other peoples' business, but then again with an Augustus nose, that seems rather difficult. But the simple fact is, even with the strides made in the past few years, I would imagine that Claire suddenly using being trans to get things her way would cause her far more problems than it would ever solve.

Many times she tends to lean on the fact that she is Trans is why she has it harder that everybody else.
Maybe this is a sign that USS Clarten is taking on water.
