Alright, so as our backup, backup show, we watched 9 till 5, 1980s Judy Burnley has started her new job as a secretary in the Corporation from Hell, working for sexist, egotistical, lying, hypocritical bigot Franklin Hart Jr., who rose to his position on the coattails of Violet Newstead, and spends his time being a creeper and attempting to have extramarital affair with Dora Lee Rhodes, who absolutely does not consent to any of this.
SengaHOST
Despite being the boss from Hell, the girls need to play nice, since Judy and Dora Lee need the job and Violet is hoping for a promotion.

However, Hart gives Violet's promotion to Bob, so she goes crook at him and storms out for a drink.
