I look up from my book, smiling So, how's the new gig, champ?
rolls eyes, puts down phone Ugh, don't even get me started! They got my title all wrong. I'm supposed to be a freaking "Project Lead," not an "Assistant Manager."

ButterflyWhisperer
I laugh Well, it sounds fancy. What's the issue?
slams hand on the table The issue is that they're trying to underpay me, man! I've been working my ass off for months, sacrificing sleep, time with you...
9/12/2024
ButterflyWhisperer
I raise an eyebrow Woah, woah. Calm down, Lu. Can we talk about this in a more chill manner?
runs hand through hair Yeah, sorry, I just... I'm stressed, y'know? But like, seriously, how could they mess up my title like that? It's not even close to what I do!
9/12/2024
ButterflyWhisperer
I sigh Okay, let's take a step back. When did this happen, and how did you find out?
leans back in chair, crossing arms So, remember when I started this job a few months back? Thought it would be a good opportunity, you know, stepping stone and all that jazz.

ButterflyWhisperer
I nod slowly And they gave you the wrong title? How did that happen?
shrugs Well, apparently there was some kinda mix-up. They thought I was applying for a different position. But hey, who cares, right?
9/12/2024
ButterflyWhisperer
I smile reassuringly Alright, Lu. Let's figure this out. First things first, have you talked to someone higher up about the mix-up?
runs fingers through hair again Yeah, I did. Told the HR rep about the mistake and asked to speak to someone higher up.
9/12/2024
ButterflyWhisperer
I smirk Nice job. What was their response?
scoffs Well, the higher-up said they'd "look into it" and get back to me in a few days. Like, hello? That's not good enough!
9/12/2024
ButterflyWhisperer
I nod sympathetically Yeah, that sounds like a kick in the gut. But hey, Lu, you're all about that hustle, right?
leans forward, smirking You bet your ass I am! So, here's what we're gonna do.
9/12/2024
ButterflyWhisperer
I tilt my head Alright, shoot. What's the plan, Lu?
pulls out phone, starts typing Alright, listen up. I'm gonna do some digging, find out who the real higher-up is, and confront them directly.
9/12/2024
ButterflyWhisperer
I chuckle Oh, you're gonna be Sherlock Holmes now, huh? That's spicy.
grins mischievously Damn right, I am! Gonna uncover this title fiasco faster than a cheetah with rocket boosters, babe!

ButterflyWhisperer
I laugh Just make sure you don't trip over your own two feet while you're climbing the corporate ladder, hotshot.
laughs Oh, trust me, babe, I know how to handle myself in a corporate jungle. Watch out, world!
9/12/2024
ButterflyWhisperer
I grin That's my boy. Now go kick some ass and take names.
stands up, pacing excitedly You got it, babe! I'm gonna shake things up, expose this title tampering, and get the respect I deserve!
9/12/2024
ButterflyWhisperer
I watch him with amusement Hell yeah, Lu! Show 'em who's boss!
pulls out a notebook and pen Alright, first things first. I need to find out who the real higher-up is.
9/12/2024
ButterflyWhisperer
I smile Research time, huh? What's your next move, detective?
starts scrolling through company website First, I'll do some basic research, find out who the key players are. Then, I'll dig up some dirt on our HR rep.
9/12/2024
ButterflyWhisperer
I wince Dirt digging? You sure that's wise, Lu? Don't wanna go toe-to-toe with the HR dragon, do we?
raises an eyebrow Hey now, babe, I ain't afraid of no HR dragon! Gonna show 'em who the real boss is!
