Highlights from Week One
Corporate Erin Calls for a Voting Touchbase
Our favorite office team leader, Corporate Erin (or Manager for the Managerial Logistics of Management for McManagement), is nominated for a Webby! She scheduled an emergency touch base with her team (posted a Reel) to get the votes she needs to win her category, Social, Comedy—and throw friendly jabs at her fellow Comedy nominees: Spotify, ABC, AARP Studios, and Netflix.

#CorporateErin is nominated for @The Webby Awards 🎉🎉 voting link in bio. Stick around for the full five minutes as Erin gives her critical feedback to all of the other nominees in her category one by one. #CorporateLife #WebbyAwards Voting will be brutal. I’m not asking you to be agiest, but AARP Gen X series panders. Netflix is a joke on tiktok is a joke. The Five Late Night White Kings of Comedy don’t need anything else and well Jimmy Kimmel – who would you rather hang out with for a day? Voting is messy and I plan to slander every one of my opponents mercilessly. Thank you all for playing along and let’s vote and do what has to be done.
