I;m betting Lawyer Lady understands that enjoyment of one’s job leads to doing a better job. For instances she lives to destroy the spirit and morale of companies that hire her, and she excels at this.
Isn’t she there as the HR part of the interview board?
DeeDee is there as part of some plot to take DeeDee down or keep her quiet with makework
DeCaf is the actual manager responsible for programming and primary evaluation of the interviewee
And
Lawyer Lady is probably working as the HR/Legal Officer here- probably doing any payroll, legal & admin parts of the interview as well as joint evaluation of the candidate
Geek Fortress must be rolling in the cash if they can afford an External Lawyer to be doing the HR function in an interview
“I’ll stand” loses the interview immediately. Then she insults the company, it’s personnel and it’s product. Guess she decided she doesn’t want the job or is being forced to be here
Wasn’t expecting the “I’m only here because they’ll cut my food stamp/benefits/daddy will be angry otherwise” type of interviewee after all that previous intro
And if she really is a corporate terrorist them she is terrible at infiltration
With that attitude, she’d find it hard to work anywhere where Daddy or Mummy aren’t pulling strings
But…..maybe it was the Mighty Intercom’s behavior made her decide “No way”?
Well, at least she hasn’t spat in anyone’s eye and/or challenged DeeDee to a fist fight in the car park, so it’s not the worst car crash of an interview I’ve heard of yet…
But, yeah, I can believe it’s based on a true story. Easily
I can also believe that Darth Advocatus just got shocked into acting as a real interview board member in disbelief at the sheer rudeness
So I’m gonna put on my Advocatus Diaboli hat for a moment…
Presuming “sewage” wasn’t meant as an insult, they are correct. One does not have to enjoy sewage to be a good sewage engineer.
However, donning my Advocatus Angelus hat… sewage isn’t meant to enjoyed. Games are. Now, someone could be a genius at designing systems and mechanics and then so long as there are other good programmers who enjoy games and can identify enjoyable systems/mechanics, a genius with no passion for the enjoyment of the games could be a good designer. But I kinda feel like their skills might be better suited elsewhere…
Personally speaking after the “I’ll stand” crack at the start, the only way I’d offer her a job is if I had to because she was related to (or sleeping with) someone too important to annoy
The insults that came straight after just scream “too toxic to hire”
Meh, I’ve worked with far worse co-workers though they didn’t usually fail the interview within the first five seconds
I am blind, so I had to double-check the speech bubble. I wasn’t expecting a cogent question from Lawyer Lady.
I apologize for discombobulating you, Thorin.
I’m guessing it was sheer shock at the rudeness displayed

I bet they’re hemorrhaging red ink and don’t even realize it.

This strip was inspired by an actual interview I was part of 10 years ago. And, yes, I was an artist sitting in on a programmer interview.

Maybe there’s hope for Evil Lawyer Lady yet?
Naahhhhh…..
Really? My god. And condolances.

Guess we’ll see how it goes next Monday!

Dee Dee is really pitching in. Good for her!
