In the world of Public Relations getting the word out is
essential. However at World Wide
Communications most of the juiciest tidbits of information revolve around the
employees.
Through the eyes of the Office Manager, we get a
glimpse into what goes on behind closed doors at this small but successful New
York PR agency, which mirrors society as a whole. Delivered through a tone of humor, this story
explores the depths of racism, sexism and the class system. As Regina the office manager mentions, “certain that she makes
less than everyone there, maybe less than the college interns why is it that
she can perform ten duties in ten minutes and Stanley a senior account
executive cannot use a damn fax machine?
Not one of those
recent college graduates who become Account Executives can make a cup of
coffee, fax a document or get dressed properly without Regina holding their
hand and walking them through it. But
they get paid the big bucks.”
A death of one of
their own in the office seems to be the least of their problems. A mole watching their every move may cost
these employees to lose their jobs, if not their lives.
