Leadership For Social Change - Class 2 - Period 7

[evilblogofevil.livejournal.com]

When the students arrived, they found the classroom set up like a high school auditorium. A big banner declared "Welcome, Henchpeople!" Tables lined the edge of the auditorium with signs announcing the companies represented. Lexcorp, Primatech, Umbrella Corp., Wolfram and Hart, Prescott Pharmaceuticals, Microsoft and others all appear to have a presence here.

"What up, leaders?" Dr. Horrible asked the class. Today he wore a white lab coat and white gloves. "Today we're going to discuss recruiting. You may think you can hire any old thug off the street to do your bidding. While it is true that cash will entice many to follow you, those that are motivated strictly by cash are easily lured from your side at times of pressure. Hire a union henchperson and you'll pay more, yes, but you get your money's worth.

"I want you to practice your henchperson recruiting speech. Tell them what you have to offer. Benefits and pensions are a good start but try to be creative. And as you listen to your fellow students, try to think of what a henchperson would be looking for and feel free to ask questions."

"I mean not at all." Well, unless there was some serious treason going on. "I'm also not one of those leaders who take credit for the good work their followers do. Excellent performance will definitely be rewarded. That means showing trustworthyness too of course."

"Rewarded how?" 21 asked. "Loot? Salary increases? Stock options?"

"That and promotions of course." As soon as she figured out what stock options were.

"How do you feel about cost of living increases? And talk to me about insurance."

See this? This is Leda's baffled expression. She'd grown up on the streets, and even her brief stint as an upper middle class teen hadn't given her any idea of what those phrases meant. God she missed anarchy.

"What, do you expect us to get paid in hugs or something?" 24 demanded. These were some savvy henchmen, after all.

God she could think of so many smart assed answers to that. "You'll have to bear with me I'm from a world where the economic situation is uh, different."
