Unconventional Protocols

The workplace is not always what it appears from the outside. Every company has its own culture, some more dystopian and ludicrous than others.

Excerpts:

I fell into wealth and power at the age of 30 when my estranged grandfather died and left me his share of ownership in a large publicly owned conglomerate with 30,000 employees. The stake was valued at one billion dollars, now double that two years later. As CEO, I have a corner office on the top floor, within shouting range of the other C-suite officers.

I am authoritative and respected, but ruthless and feared. Intimidation is my management style.

"You've been disrespectful, not addressing me properly, talking back. When you were a child, what did your parents do when you were like this? They spanked you, right?"

"Yes, sir. Oh my God. Don't even think about doing that!"

"I've been getting complaints; company morale is low. Who is normally to blame for that? HR. Your reports have been late and incomplete. I like you, Willow. You show good potential, but that's not enough."

"I'll do better, sir."

"And?"

"You seriously expect that to happen?"

"Paraphrasing, the Bible says he who loves his subordinate is careful to discipline her. Are you being proactive and suggesting it? If so, I need to hear it in your own words, Miss Walker."

"Is there like a safeword or something, sir?"

"Normally, yes. In this case, no."

"So, if I walk through this door, I have to do anything you want, anything any of you want, possibly being whipped or worse, and continue doing so until you say I may leave?"

"Exactly, Miss Jeffs."

"Okay, cool." She boldly charges in, followed gleefully by me. The door closes behind us with a THUD.

"Did you have a good time in The Playroom?"

"It was the longest 24 hours of my life. Several of them were good hours, one was amazing, so my answer is yes."

We could live out your fantasy, but then you'd have a debt to pay."

"Of course. Can I trust you?"

"Can you ask stupid questions? You know the answer. I'll take full advantage of you. That's what you really want. Right?"

"You probably think that I've been around, that I've done stuff, sex stuff, kinky stuff, but it's more the opposite. I'm as innocent and naive as I look."

"So come home with me and we'll see how things play out."

"I feel like I'm giving you carte blanche to misbehave."

"You are"
