See Lyla For Ideas On Maximizing Complacency

You enter the elevator and press the button to the fifth floor, which was where the HR department was located. You exit the elevator, and walk into the familiar office, and notice Lyla sitting in her chair.

"Hey, stud. I heard things are going well with the new program, and not even two weeks have passed, floor productivity is pretty great!" She blows a kiss, "I'm ovulating, you know." Lyla shoots you a wink.
"Er- uh, great. I'm here for business strictly this time though," you say.

"Oh? That's too bad." She seems a bit disappointed, but she sensed you would've been down to fuck if it wasn't for your noticeable frustration. "I'm going out on a limb here and guessing you're butthurt some gal turned down 'improving your morale'," She smirks at you, with her head in her hands, likely reminiscing of a time she used to be a heartbreaker in her 20s.

"Well, you know the girl at the front desk, Monica?"
Lyla nods. "Mmhmm."

"She's not on board with the new program."
Lyla grins. "Why does it matter if Monica is on board?"

"I, uh, want her." You respond, and then clear your throat. "I mean, she'd be a good fit for the company and I think it'd be good for morale to have her more on board."
"Well, I can't do anything to make your program mandatory, any number of workplace rights organizations, and not to mention our government would have an issue with that," Lyla chews on her pencil a bit, "However, perhaps she'll come around. Have you considered talking to Jack in Promotions?"

"What does that have anything to do with what we were talking about? Also, who the hell is Jack?" You were getting impatient. Lyla seemed to notice.
"Jack Reiter. He's one of ADE's weirdest that isn't R&D, though you'll find he isn't all that different from that odd duck Verlax, but he has a background in Communications Tech. We shared a class in college together years back."
"And a bed, I imagine..." You joke.
"You know it," She winks at you. "But back to topic. He's working on 'subliminal messaging' in ads for bringing in customers. Perhaps you can ask him about the means of using something like that to get more stubborn employees on board with your incentive program?"

You think about it for a moment. That does sound like a great idea. "I think I will, actually. Thanks for the idea."
"No problem. You're doing great, baby. Don't be a stranger!" Lyla blows a kiss and you leave.
