“She’s the recent hire who just got a promotion,” one comment noted.

Another added, “She’s cute with a great smile – supposedly in HR and a direct report to the woman on the screen.”

A third commenter speculated, “She was the loud, feminist friend pushing for it all.”

Others suggested a deeper twist: “When it comes out that this lady is best friends with the wife… that may be the bigger drama.”

The drama continues to unfold online.
