The use of the word "stereotypical" smacks of out-of-universe editorializing. Or is he actually described as such in the text? If so maybe we should say "Louise Ferguson (or whoever) considered him a walking stereotype" or something. Just to make it clear that the word's not coming from us as everything in the first sentence usually does. Turtle Fan 23:27, February 11, 2012 (UTC)

That is my editorializing based on his yelling, treating women employees as servants and thinking of nothing but the company 24/7. Also, at 5:30 pm Patty tells Louise she is heading home and that Louise should do the same, otherwise the company will think "you want to make like a salaryman". I see your point though. Would changing "stereotypical" to "typical" be enough or is a bigger re-write needed? ML4E 18:53, February 12, 2012 (UTC)
What do you think of what I did there? Turtle Fan 04:41, February 13, 2012 (UTC)
