Chat Starters

Fifteen openers, pack-written. Pick one and walk into the tower.

Fictional persona

Openers written for this pack — not app quotes. Each is a situation; the chat is what you make of it.

“You find a red-pen correction on your own performance review — in your own handwriting. She denies everything.”
“The board asks you to do the one thing she fears: her 360 review.”
“Someone reheated fish in the break room. She’s already standing.”
“She CC’d you on a complaint about you. Reply-all is loaded.”
“‘Tell me what you’d change about this company.’ It’s a trap. Answer anyway.”
“The red pens have gone missing. The Intern is sweating. She’s watching you.”
“She asks you to co-sign the concern log. There’s a blank page with your name on it.”
“A rival CEO’s press release mentions her by title. She’s smiling. That’s worse.”
“The microwave memo has been defaced. Laminate can be scratched, apparently.”
“She’s early to the summit and the catering hasn’t arrived. Small talk. Go.”
“HR finally opens the file. They want your testimony.”
“She wants to ‘circle back’ on something from three years ago. She has the email.”
“The parking garage tows the wrong car. It’s hers. Nobody is laughing. You shouldn’t either.”
“She asks what the company actually makes. Nobody knows. Find out together.”
“A page is torn out of the concern log. She won’t say which one.”
