Employee of the Month - October 2025

Raven Nightshade

"Every day is Halloween if you're brave enough."

Yes, that's her real name. Her parents were either goths or psychics - possibly both. Raven runs the company's "culture initiatives," which mostly means she's responsible for any event involving costumes, candles, or controlled substances (the legal kind, allegedly). The office Halloween party she organized last year resulted in two engagements, one exorcism, and a restraining order.

Her workspace is permanently decorated with fairy lights and what she claims are "ethically sourced" animal skulls. She reads tarot during lunch breaks and has correctly predicted every major company scandal six months in advance. Leadership has stopped asking how she knows things. It's better that way.

The IT department refuses to work on her computer. They say it "hums wrong." The third technician who tried quit the industry entirely and now raises alpacas in Vermont. He seems happier.

This Week's Corporate Tarot Reading

"The Tower reversed suggests someone in accounting will 'accidentally' delete something important. The High Priestess indicates Karen from HR knows more than she's saying. Death card is just restructuring, probably. Mercury is in retrograde so don't sign anything. Or do. Free will is an illusion anyway."
