Gone from the company employee roster doesn't necessarily mean gone from
the strip. There are all sorts of scenarios they could go to, from
Tina's travails trying to find another job, to disaster befalling the
company from the consequences of offshoring Tina's work. Imagine the
opportunities for Tina highs and lows as the company comes pleading for
her to come back, she returns in triumph and then discovers her job is
now even harder as she tries to fix all the messes her "replacement"
created.
