The Art Of Negotiation

Comic Transcript

MARK: Stan, I know you guys rely on the formal process to prevent people from overwhelming you with work. Bureaucracies are really useful in situations like that.

MARK: But before you feel too safe standing behind your wall of red tape, consider for a second that we are technical writers. We get paid to write documentation for a living. We have macros that can semi-automate the generation of forms and official requests.

MARK: And if we were to actually use those macros, you guys would find yourselves drowning in Verified Engineer’s Implementation Notices. I reckon we could easily pump out thirty to fourty a day.

STAN: Congratulations. You’ve just been put on our notification list.

MARK: Good man.
