More About Kay
Background Info
31 years old.
Senior Manager, working for Anand. Your peer. Focused on Localization for DFI.
Been with TLA for five years.
You can’t stand her.
You worked with her in Los Angeles.
She joined the DFI project last month. She was brought in as your peer, rather than as a manager working for you. This is weird. Not sure why Anand did this.
She does get the job done, though. Execs love her! This annoys you even more than she does.
Let us repeat—Execs love her.
Disposition
She will step on all who oppose her—including you. She will smile at your dead carcass with great satisfaction, as well.
She might eat the carcass, too.
She is tough, and Machiavelli is her role model.
Work
She doesn’t care about your perspective.
But, she will care if it helps her image with the other executives.
She has traditionally been a go-to manager from their perspective. They feel she nails the job. A few have secretly wondered why she isn’t in charge of DFI instead of you.
You definitely feel threatened.
