Then there was Teri, the head of the I.T.departmet, who was a man until he had a sex change operation. Even Rita got the tall slender person's gender mixed up; she wasn't alone, but Teri was good natured about it, often cracking jokes about the use of masculine pronouns by her co-workers.
Rita didn't care about race, gender, nationality or sexual orientation; production is the only important thing. Teri did her job very well; she recently set up the new computer system for the entire office in an extremely efficient manner.
That meant fifty new computers, mainly for the call-center where telephone recruiters invited people in their database to the focus groups.Most respondents were happy to come to these groups, especially since they got paid for giving their opinion about whatever topic was being discussed. In addition, there was always refreshments served and the underground parking was always validated.
Ms Taylor monitored the phone calls to make sure the recruiters were always on the phone, and also to make sure they conducted themselves in a professional manner at all times. If she detected any rudeness, she'd give the employee a choice, a consultation in her office or be fired. Most chose the former.
RST's clients were a who's who in the business world. She personally knew executives from Microsoft, Apple, Hewlet-Packard, various banks, accounting firms, General Motors, all the German and Japanese car companies and many more. It was imperative if these companies did business with her company that she delivered, She did have competition. And that is why she has taken such a hard ass attitude with her employees.
After one of the weekly meetings, she told her personal secretary to call the local theatre to see if here were any seats in the balcony for tonight's show. If there were, call the courier company to deliver two tickets to the office today.
