“Along with the responsibilities.” Adds Crane in a cautious voice. “You will be expected to make significant choices for the company’s future, but you will never be alone in deciding them.”
“As per the company charter,” Recites Mr. Hare, “Any company-altering decisions will have to be agreed upon by a majority vote by <span class="mu-g">THE BOARD-</span>”
A<span class="mu-i">HA</span>, you snarl, so that’s how they’ll getcha!
“Try to understand, please:” Ms. Crane sighs, “The last CEO used <span class="mu-g">GOOD BOY</span> for her own questionable whims and look where it got us.”
“Deep <span class="mu-i">SHIT</span>.” Grunts Wolf with an emphasis on the second word!
“We only want what’s best for the company, Parble…” Adds Hare in an apologetic tone! “We employ a great deal of people–every decision we sign off on may impact thousands of lives!”
“More, depending.” Grumbles Rat.
“That said,” Says Mr. Fox, “The company can more or less run itself, provided we actually <span class="mu-i">synergize</span> this time around, so not to worry–you won’t have to make a life-altering decision every day!”
“There ARE a few immediate choices to discuss, however,” Mr. Hare butts in, “<span class="mu-g">PERSONNEL, FUTURE AIMS,</span> and a few others…”
“But those are none of your concern if you choose to walk.” Concludes Ms. Mantis. “Like Fox said: the company will be fine without you. Don’t forget that.”
