The Office

I’ve always wanted to run the family firm and with Mr. Emerson’s illness I’d had my chance. He’d been ill for more than two years and not really with it for a few months beforehand. Somehow, I’d managed to employ a few more people, given raises to those who contributed to the company and overlooked those who played management games. Profits were up, staff turnover was down and some of the research and development stuff was finally beginning to pay off.
