omg honestly the corporate lingo was probably the most difficult to pin down for me a) because why am i trying to escape from my corporate job by imagining… tennis players in corporate jobs and b) because every company & industry has such specific jargon and i work in such a niche industry and i don’t want the setting to directly mirror any one company. which is why everything benflavio do in the workplace is shrouded in acronyms and vaguely defined project terms. which if you think about it is probably the most accurate depiction of the corporate world

A BORN AND RAISED NEW YORKER this is high praise, thank you so much! as someone who is only pretending to know anything about the city (read: california transplant), i apologize in advance for any nyc inaccuracies that will inevitably crop up. thank you for reading have a forehead kiss <3
