    Let's be fair here, according to the rules, Alan _does_ have to pick up the replacement manager's keys . . . but _nowhere_ does it say he has to *return* them.
    Free keys for Alan! I'd call that a win.
    Plus, I don't think that's a company-approved pen, which means he's gone out of his way to supply his _own personal pen_ for company use, thus saving the company money.
    I think this calls for a pay *raise* as well as commendation for Alan going above and beyond the call of duty.

I don't see anywhere that it says that on them. And since I picked them up, and they are in MY hand, on their way to, yep, MY pocket, I'd say that the keys belong to me.

      Source: I see this same type of thing all the time at my jobs. On leaving my last job they tried hiring 3 different people to replace me who all quit in their first week (I had a friend still worked there so I heard all about it), the manager was having to work my former shifts for 3 weeks before they finally had another store send a transfer in. 3 weeks isn't a lot in the long run, but it's amusing nonetheless.

    Okay, was anyone else expecting that, as soon as Rowan left the room, Brynley would transform into one of those arrogant, no-nothing, ambitious but inexperienced "college grad managers" with a chip on their shoulders and something to prove like we always hear about on Reddit? Was it just me? lol

    I was expecting an actual bossfight with monsters. And funnily enough, that's what I've gotten, sort of.

    It would actually be nice to see a consequence to the managers acting like that. Something where the whole team just walks out.

    This is how you do gender-swap properly! Nice to see Rowan's got a new co-worker. And she was so charming in the beginning. Kudos!
