Season 1 Webisode 3. Temps Mark and Laura learn a valuable lesson about trust when Paul and Jen try to scam them out of 20 bucks for a birthday cake for someone they've never met. "Trouble" explains how to tell people where they can stick that $20.
Secrets will be revealed. Scandal will erupt. Time sheets will be filled-out. The superlatively snarky employees at Pedtastic, the startup social network for shoelace-makers, patronize the temps from Commodity Staffing, a notoriously shady temp agency. When Pedtastic's clueless CEO and "ambassador of fun," Nick aka "Trouble" gets conned into selling the company to bankrupt Commodity in a "multi-hundred dollar transaction," Nick uses his inherited clockwatchers as cash cows with time sheets and will do ANYTHING to keep them under his delusional, incompetent thumb. This includes sending Paul, Laura, Mark and Caitlin on every nightmare temp job imaginable.
While still unconscious, Nick dreams up a new scheme to take some completely unnecessary vacation time courtesy of his guardian angel Tom Cruise and makes a life or death decision about Commodity Staffing that will give Mark and Laura more responsibility than they want.
