{{Tapped Out Antoine Icon|Happy}}
{{TB|I come bearing good news, fellow Co-CEO!}}
{{Tapped Out Zora Icon}}
{{TB|You don't need to say "Co-CEO". Just "CEO" is fine. "Fellow" already implies that we're both CEOs.}}
{{Tapped Out Antoine Icon|Annoyed}}
{{TB|{{*}}under breath{{*}} English majors make the worst tech execs.}}
{{Tapped Out Zora Icon|Annoyed}}
{{TB|What was that?}}
{{Tapped Out Antoine Icon}}
{{TB|Anyway, we've got a new round of angel investment so CarGo can proceed with its expansion plans!}}
{{Tapped Out Zora Icon}}
{{TB|You mean your parents' friends ponied up another round of cash?}}

{{Tapped Out Antoine Icon}}
{{TB|If we expand our manufacturing capacity by 8% we should have enough money left over to hire the salespeople we need to hit our distribution goals.}}
{{Tapped Out Antoine Icon|Confused}}
{{TB|But we won't be able to maintain our requirement of having a food cart every fifty feet on our corporate campus.}}
{{Tapped Out Zora Icon}}
{{TB|Well, we could hire 25% of the salespeople on commission and change the requirement to every sixty feet.}}
{{Tapped Out Antoine Icon|Confused}}
{{TB|Would that work?}}

{{Tapped Out Squeaky Voice Teen Icon}}
{{TB|So, I'll have to make coffee runs even though you have one of those fancy European coffee makers every sixty feet or so. Got it.}}
{{Tapped Out Zora Icon}}
{{TB|Yes. The ability to multitask is going to be very important in this position.}}
{{Tapped Out Squeaky Voice Teen Icon}}
{{TB|Understood. So I'll be doing the work of three people while getting paid half of what one should make; work too few hours to be considered full time…}}
{{Tapped Out Squeaky Voice Teen Icon}}
{{TB|…and, once I do qualify for benefits, you'll replace me.}}
{{Tapped Out Antoine Icon|Confused}}
{{TB|You seem to have a lot of insight into the job-hiring process.}}
{{Tapped Out Squeaky Voice Teen Icon|Happy}}
{{TB|Did you look at my resume?}}
{{Tapped Out Zora Icon|Surprised}}
{{TB|It's twenty-four pages long. I tuned out after a while.}}

{{TB|I've never met anyone who's worked so many different jobs before.}}
{{Tapped Out Squeaky Voice Teen Icon}}
{{TB|Sometimes it feels like I'm in purgatory, forced to work a series of random service industry jobs at the behest of a pantheon of devious gods who think they're more clever than they actually are.}}
{{Tapped Out Zora Icon}}
{{TB|Uh-huh. How soon can you start?}}

{{Tapped Out Antoine Icon|Happy}}
{{TB|You do get paid over time!}}
{{Tapped Out Benjamin Icon|Sad}}
{{TB|Did…did you say overtime or over-pause-time?}}
{{Tapped Out Antoine Icon|Happy}}
{{TB|You're a good listener. I like that in a candidate. NEXT!}}
{{Tapped Out Zora Icon}}
{{TB|Are you prepared to work in a dynamic work environment?}}
{{Tapped Out Gary Icon|Annoyed}}
{{TB|Meaning that you keep changing priorities as soon as you see something new and shiny on the Tech News Network.}}
{{Tapped Out Antoine Icon}}
{{TB|That's insightful. I like that in a candidate. NEXT!}}
{{Tapped Out Zora Icon}}
{{TB|What do you think you can contribute to an agile development team?}}

{{TB|Yes, I am here to apply for a job.}}
{{Tapped Out Antoine Icon|Annoyed}}
{{TB|We're a hi-tech automotive startup. I don't think—}}
{{Tapped Out Homer Icon|Sly}}
{{TB|Yes, and I am the CEO of [[Compu-Global-Hyper-Mega-Net]]. We're a cutting-edge internet company that does internet things that make a lot of money.}}
{{Tapped Out Zora Icon|Surprised}}
{{TB|Uh, one moment, sir. I need to step outside and speak with my fellow Co-CEO.}}
{{Tapped Out Homer Icon|Sarcastic}}
{{TB|Indeed. And I will partake in these tech company snacks that seem ten feet further apart than normal.}}
{{Tapped Out Antoine Icon|Confused}}
{{TB|What's wrong?}}
{{Tapped Out Zora Icon|Annoyed}}
{{TB|Don't you get it? He's an undercover boss!}}
{{Tapped Out Antoine Icon|Surprised}}
{{TB|{{*}}gasp{{*}} How did I not see it? He's dressed like a complete slob! Wait, but we don't have bosses. We ARE the bosses.}}
{{Tapped Out Zora Icon|Worried}}
{{TB|He's not our boss. He's the boss of Compu-Global-Hyper-Mega-Net and he's who's gonna try a hostile takeover on us. He's clearly undercover and scoping us out.}}
{{Tapped Out Antoine Icon|Confused}}
{{TB|But…if he was undercover, why would he tell the truth about being the CEO of Compu-Global-Hyper-Mega-Net?}}
{{Tapped Out Zora Icon|Worried}}
{{TB|That's how deep undercover he is!}}
{{Tapped Out Antoine Icon|Worried}}
{{TB|Oof, this takeover is gonna get hostile.}}

{{TB|Compu-Global-Hyper-MEGA-Net!}}
{{Tapped Out Antoine Icon|Worried}}
{{TB|Right, that. Really, it wouldn't be worth your time to even consider us.}}
{{Tapped Out Zora Icon}}
{{TB|But we were wondering if maybe there was something we could do for you, so that you would could just…go away and…forget about anything hostile.…}}
{{Tapped Out Homer Icon|Thoughtful}}
{{TB|What did you have in mind?}}
{{Tapped Out Antoine Icon|Happy}}
{{TB|How does two-thousand CarGo stock options sound?}}
