The Chief's biased decision in selecting the next vice president

¶ … Chief's basic personality and actions, that he will choose Billy Evans as the next vice president. The Chief appears to be very biased towards Evans, and against the other two, especially Laura Prove. His words to Frank Barnwood regarding the "gripes" of minorities also seem to indicate that his attitude towards these persons would remain unchanged, no matter how many articles he is given about the subject. If he were to appoint women in top positions, this would be only a token gesture, with little sincerity or confidence behind it. Furthermore Evans's relaxed attitude indicates that the decision in his favor had already been made during one of the cooling-off periods after a handball game with the Chief.

The person who should get the job is Arnie Sander. Both his expertise and his education work together to make him a top candidate for performing well as vice president. The fact that he is generally acknowledged as the company's most innovative "genius" shows that he is more than just a favorite of those who happen to like him. While Laura is also a good candidate, her in-depth knowledge of Ramsey's products is somewhat lacking. Her skills will allow promotion and eventually she might be able to secure a vice presidentship. Currently however, Sander is the superior candidate.
