Some Ed

Someone I know went to work for the IT security department for a company with a reputation for being intensely focused on security. If I'm recalling correctly, his first task after completing his orientation was to do a vulnerability scan on the environment. A week later, he came back to his boss and reported, "I could not find any vulnerabilities." His boss replied without any hesitation, "Do it again. There's no way we're that secure." The second time through, he found a lot more problems. To be fair, some of them were false positives. But not all of them were.

I've known a couple of people who went to work at highly dysfunctional large organizations and had a blast. I'm pretty sure you wouldn't want to work with them at any company.

Fortunately, I don't think anyone in this comic is the Dali Lama. Looking at it from another perspective, how many people accept carrying a phone whose OS and updates are controlled by their company? Do any of them have a way to determine that they're not carrying their company's bug around with them?

BagFullOfLizards

And after that it’ll be her turn to blow up the world!

Mitsuki Ayane

new comic up, refresh if needed. ~<3

Joseph Bonnar

So far, no. I always worry a bit about Jeph when the comic is late or missing, which says a lot about me, and nothing about Jeph.

Give it a month

Emperor has a nice ring to it.

KiTA

No comic today?

Captain Button

And Dictator Augustus, the week after.

RoofPig

She's gonna be Director Augustus before the end of this visit

Sean Morgan

TBH biggest problem with this whole environment is the horrendous lack of *boundaries* - hilarious for a comic, but triggers all my work and childhood traumas.

Erinnyes

Oh, in real life Claire would be a complete imbecile to do anything other than get back on the boat. I've seen what happens when people are brought into highly dysfunctional large organizations. It's never "they have a good time".

Cole Blackblood

This. No such thing as a fool-proof security system, it would actually make sense to prep and do checks incase of failures, versus waiting for them to happen to do them.

Dan Curtis

I didn't even see the neck line for an A.I. Body.

Gemma Hentsch

Or maybe a good security officer would assume there were flaws in their security system and therefore would opperate under their assumption...

Probably not as tall as Bubbles, she's only about a half-head taller than Marten.

Andrea Andrew

I think this AI woman might be as tall as May or Bubbles.

That Blair Guy

In real life, Claire would be heading into choppy waters. But I agree, any of these outcomes is more likely in QC.

Andreas_B

Also in the realm of possibility: Chairwoman of the Board of Directors, High Priestess, or Mayor...

OldGoat

True. However, realizing that your prospective employer is trying to bug your room would be enough to piss off the Dali Lama.

Matt Pedone

So, either she doesn't get the job, or she's named the new director of Cubetown.

Daryl Sawyer

On the other hand, as Yay said, they desperately need someone like Claire.

Jay

I feel like finding a stranger scoping out your room in an unfamiliar place, operated by an organization that's giving you a lot of red flags (and also putting the potential stress on you of having to move away from friends and family to deep dive into a project you don't know if you're equipped to deal with the scope of) might result in someone being on edge with increasingly limited patience for shenanigans.

That Blair Guy

I worry Claire is going to blow the interview on the grounds of culture fit. She’s way more uptight than any of the locals.

Tommm

From what i hear and read this is the experience of most Germans moving to the US. The rest fit right in.

KiTA

Wow, she's uh. Not nice.

Chris Crowther

Yeah, she's being a lot of a dick here.

Mad Marie

I have a tactical chocolate bar in my purse. Keeps the me in line.

Stephen Wells

Poor Evan. If there were a panel 5 she would be resigning in it. She needs to talk to Roko.

Jan Gampe

Claire is just being mean here. Of course there are critical points of failure in a security system. Give them the benefit of the doubt that they have thoroughly checked Evanescent.
