Howdy! I've just finished speaking with Shamir, Catherine and Seteth and we've all agreed that the two of you dating does not violate the HR manual.
But I would love to run through the specifics of this with the two of you. If the two of you could 'manage' to come down to my office within the next half hour, we can sure hammer it out!

RE: RE: My Proposal
Edelgard,
I read over your proposal, although manifesto might have been the proper word for it. I found all 36 pages to reasonable for an autocracy out of Dagda from four hundred years ago.
You propose toppling the system here at Emblem Corp. to give rise to one that allows employees to rise via merit, à la a meritocracy. But need I remind you that this is A) a business and B) already a meritocracy. Employees are promoted when we, the rest of upper management, feel that they deserve it and have shown ample means for such recognition. This proposal strikes me as archaic and better suited for a history class than a business.
In short, no, I will not promote you.
