Management Theory [Tuesday, March 17, 4th period]

"One of the most important parts of being a manager is choosing someone to be your flunky...er minion, I mean ASSISTANT. Yes. Assistant," Yzma said, pacing around the Danger Room.

"They do the parts of your job you don't want to: picking up dry cleaning, talking to people on the phone..." She clapped her hand and a movie screen scrolled out of nowhere. "There is a marvelous instructional video on how to be an effective manager called meta for The Devil Wears Prada. After we've watched the good parts, you will have an assignment!"

Thunder cackled ominously. "Won't that be wonderful?"

Your assignment!

"This week, you must get another student to perform some menial task for you," Yzma declared. "The more complicated and humiliating, the better, of course. Have them bring you coffee and declare it too cold! Make them do your laundry! Clip your toenails! Wash your underwear! And next week, we will talk about what you did!"

Thunder cackled again.

"You can't, of course, tell them it's for an assignment. Nor can you pay them to do it."

Arthur was not fully sure how this was any different from what he usually did anyway, so he sat back. Easy.

Doing menial tasks wasn't his job.

Edmund leaned back in his chair, pondering whether he could get Reno when he wasn't a meerkat to do something for him. Maybe something involving food.

Right, so Romeo was supposed to treat another student the way he'd treated his father's employees for the first 17 years of his life.

He could handle that. It might make him feel bad for a moment, but he could handle it.

Hinata... was probably going to fail this assignment, she thought a bit depressed at the thought.

Though.

Wait. It wasn't very menial, or humiliating but she supposed it might... pass.

Rikku was deep in thought.

Did offering someone sexual favors count as paying them? Or, conversely, threatening to withhold them?

It was less a question of ethics and more a question of whether that would hurt her grade.

Agnes blinked at Yzma thoughtfully. If she didn't complete the assignment, would Yzma find out? More importantly, would she CARE?

...Liir winced. He'd gotten out of this task with Professor Ghanima. But he had a feeling Professor Yzma wouldn't allow it.

Shit. Shit. Shit.
