Cookies: Cunning Subversion Style at work.

Rachel had been transfered to the new office as a demotion. At least that's how she saw it. Billy, Joe, Jacquie and Fred all saw this woman suddenly show up and take the open position of second in command. For some reason, Henry, the director, never thought to mention how she came to be there, officially or through rumors. For these reasons, the others were keeping Rachel outside of their group. She tried to make friends, but they were trying to hurt her back for things that weren't her fault. "I didn't even want to be here!" But as their direct superior, she could make life just as hard for them.

Fred remembered how he hadn't been invited to Billy's last birthday party. It wasn't something big... but these sorts of things were just too common. Also remembered the long nights he had to work because Joe and Jacquie didn't get the papers he needed to him till barely before his deadline. Maybe it was that hard... or maybe they were actually trying to make him look bad. They had all wanted the Assistant Directorship, and obviously they were willing to sabatoge him to do it.

Henry was seeing productivity grind to a halt. So maybe he'd just have to call in some new people... at first to help, and once they learned the job, to replace. Some of these memos had been seen by the others, and as such they didn't trust Henry at all... since he was blaming them for things not getting done, that he hadn't seen given to them, obviously because he never trusted them to do it in the first place!

Billy and Joe both were realizing this job was a waste of their time and effort. They could do so much more. Instead they were kept down here. Superior effort and work got them bonuses... every 3 years, if they were lucky. They saw how Henry favored Jacquie and it made them hate both of them... hate this entire Division. People needed to see the rot and corruption in it, and if that meant destroying the Division to reveal it... well, both knew it would see them a promotion to Directorship of some other Division.

Jacquie saw the little notes and looks the men at work gave towards her or used to talk about her. They said they were just memos, but she saw something about her. She felt like a piece of meat... She felt how she was destined for greater things, and if the one memo she saw said what she thought it said, there was a position open she was eminently qualified for. Now how to crush the people who were making her life Hell and the Division that spawned them, as she left for better things?
