Claire Keo saw an email alert pop up on her desktop. Distracted by the work she was deep into, she opened it without noticing whom it was from. Abruptly a large stylized illustration of a full-bodied woman lying on a bed exposed itself all over her large monitor. Claire yelped with surprise and blushed furiously, covering the screen with her small hands while trying close the window.

A few seats away, she heard Keven cracking up. In contrast with the rage that immediately flushed throughout her body, she emoted only sadness and disappointment in his direction. This, unfortunately, made the graphic designer laugh harder, and her creative manager, Jacob, looked between them to see what was so funny.

Claire sighed. She forwarded Keven’s email with a terse, professionally worded complaint to Inez in HR; within minutes the brittle, starchy, polyester woman indignantly explained did not need to see stuff like this on her lunch break. In a snippy reply that went scant on punctuation and capitalization, Inez advised her to take it up with Jacob. The prematurely balding creative manager in the too-trendy shirt, currently high-fiving Keven on his little prank.

It was supposed to be Claire’s lunch break too, in fact, but currently the office was in crunch time to set up a new client’s site architecture before the weekend. She’d spent the past week consulting with the client, hashing out domain modeling with Jacob for layout and their UX guy, Joey, for functionality. She was the sole coder for Planetphase, self-described as a small but nimble verticals design agency providing the biggest bang for the budget. That sounded great if you were a small business local to Greenville, looking to break into the online market on restricted capital.

But on the other end of that stick, if you were the only code monkey in an ambitious agency that rarely turned down any client, this can-do attitude translated to cranking out competitive design, functionality, and troubleshooting at breakneck speed. And that was before all the late weekday nights and requests from admin to put in a few hours over the weekend, none of which apparently merited compensation, credit, or even thanks.

So Claire told herself she was building her chops at Planetphase, fleshing out a respectable portfolio and pushing her skills to their threshold, putting in enough time to look like a loyal and motivated employee. Occasionally she worked small miracles, like building scalable framework for their nonprofit client’s new site, preparing it to handle future modifications and unforeseen tech developments. That kind of flexibility and vision should have made her a desirable asset to any agency. Most of the
