A revisit from the advertisement from ‘Office Party’. Karen’s request is shot down due to contract nonsense. Will she be able to get those adverts down? What can she do to get around this?
More next week 🙂
Linktacular!
Back Office
In a Call-Center…no one can hear you scream…
I’m thinking an accidental accelerant-infused fire at the temp agency headquarters. A Molotov cocktail through the window should do nicely. ^^
At the very least, it would improve her bargaining position. 🙂
@Delta: Err, being in jail is generally considered a really bad negotiating position. Although considering how thoroughly the temp agency seems to have Karen over a barrel, that might still be an improvement. LOL
@Kessy: Oh, darn, did I forget to use the word “anonymous”? Silly me!
It’s good to see you. 🙂 I was afraid you’d stopped reading Back Office. 🙁
@Delta: Nah, don’t worry, I’m always around. Sometimes I may not feel up to saying much. And the other thing is that I don’t have the experience with working in an office that you guys seem to, so sometimes I don’t have much to say about that. It may sound really weird, but in a lot of ways Bata Neart is a lot closer to my real life experiences than Back Office.
She should sue the pants off them. (Pun intended). :>P
Or at the very least take the contract to a lawywer to see if anything can be done. But if the company is anything like I think it is, the contract is likely ironclad. Though I’m not sure how they can have a clause that allows them to take pictures without the person knowing.
@Delta: A molotov might work, but they are fairly used to getting their offices smashed. One of their old offices probably still had that dead nuke hanging out of it 😀
@Kessy: I’ve often been fascinated by how my readers related to each of the two comics. In the very rare cases when I speak to a reader in person I have found that he/she usually sticks to one of the comics only. Bata Neart readers don’t tend to read Back Office and vice-versa. Anna for example does not usually read Bata Neart and tends to stick with Back Office.
I kind of get why. Back Office is kind of an outlandish situation-driven action-comedy, where-as Bata Neart is more of a character-driven fantasy adventure. But it is interesting when I do get readers who check out both. I am very glad Bata Neart relegates a lot to your own experiences. Despite all of the fantasy and obligatory ‘magical girl’ scenario-stuff, I’m always hopeful that people can personally relate to the characters and what’s happening to them.
@Farren: I don’t want to spoil the story too much, but you’ll soon find out why ‘Job4You’ is in such a twisted state. (Spoiler tip: The answer is in my Gravatar)
