what's with this office?! it's so stuffy. bizarre that his office & sterling's are in the same company

There we see the oddness of Don. In exactly the same circumstances the "we should order lunch" would have elicited disdain or a curt rejoinder.

ah so Joan is a partner but is still office manager
― the little prince of inane false binary hype (Alfred, Lord Sotosyn), Monday, 22 April 2013 02:26 (eleven years ago) link
she's basically an office manager with a considerable promotion
― the little prince of inane false binary hype (Alfred, Lord Sotosyn), Monday, 22 April 2013 02:27 (eleven years ago) link
yeah, but as we saw since ppl know how she secured the partnership her authority is likely to be undermined at every turn... i feel like she was seen as more indispensible -- commanded more respect -- before the partnership thing
― Pat Finn, Monday, 22 April 2013 02:29 (eleven years ago) link
i suppose she would have to be office manager? what other job would she do?
(also if harry knows what's up re: joan becoming a partner, how many other people know, at the office & at other agencies)
― seriously, THIS GUY (daria-g), Monday, 22 April 2013 02:30 (eleven years ago) link
if harry knows, and he is angry with her (and so likely not to keep her secret) it won't be long before everyone knows. i suspect something is going to go wrong and she is going to be made uncomfortable and have to leave. which sucks, because she was always among the most competent people at the office, it seemed

don sucks. meghan should have never gotten mixed up with a dark, brooding guy like that. i feel like of all the main characters on the show, she had the best shot of finding actual happiness in life.

so is joan going to be extra nasty to the secretaries now
hoping dawn becomes a copy writer and makes $$$$
― seriously, THIS GUY (daria-g), Monday, 22 April 2013 03:56 (eleven years ago) link
i mean copy writer and then runs a department and gets a partnership, etc. i assume the writers are setting up something what with actually giving her more screen time
― seriously, THIS GUY (daria-g), Monday, 22 April 2013 03:58 (eleven years ago) link
that would be cool. i wish joan would be nice to the secretaries... or more understanding of their predicament as women in a super-sexist office environment, but i guess she needs to do what she needs to do to stay on top, in a position of authority.
― Pat Finn, Monday, 22 April 2013 04:00 (eleven years ago) link
I dunno, what was she supposed to do? Harry's assistant defrauded the company for five hours worth of pay (which, granted, was probably only $20-30 in 1968) and Dawn aided in the fraud. I would've fired Scarlett too, on the spot, and I think the turnabout with Dawn's new responsibility/punishment is fairly clever.
― Johnny Fever, Monday, 22 April 2013 04:06 (eleven years ago) link
hm, idk. i've never been on the management side of things, but what i probably would have done is give dawn a stern warning and a second chance.
― Pat Finn, Monday, 22 April 2013 04:08 (eleven years ago) link
there's no way it doesn't cost them far far more than 5 hours work to find and hire a reasonably competent secretary, doesn't seem worth firing one for one screwup.
although i kind of get why joan is that way - for the secretaries it's like.. the job is a limited amount of skills plus punching the timecard plus looking good - what's she going to do as a partner who manages the secretaries other than enforce this stuff extra.
