Employee handbook questions that I still wonder

1.Chapters

if the employee handbook we have aligns up with the in-lore one that employees would get to read when they get employed, why on earth would they have “surviving your first week” labeled with five chapters of BATIM? Not to mention that the pages weren’t printed on and it’s basically just a bunch of scrap paper and photos pasted on. The only few things “printed on” are just regular employee guide stuff Ex.axe guide, room guide

and ink marks/dialogues

2.Employees specifically stated

There’s pages that shows the sort of chart thingy of how many jobs there are and who works under who, and they would include a few snippets from in-game (batim) characters. Everyone (from batim so not counting characters like Buddy Lewek or Emma LaMonte) was mentioned besides Bertrum. Why? Even Lacie got her own little mention and it still called Bertrum “Bertie”. He had every reason to get his own little name card too but he wasn’t there. And again, if this was the in-universe employee handbook, why those employees? People like Joey, Grant, Sammy, Wally and Thomas are quite understandable since they either have an independent job or an extremely high position with a massive department under them (which also makes me wonder why they ignore Grant so much. His department was massive as heck, even bigger than Sammy’s tbh. There should be quite some lore there) but .. Lacie? Shawn? Jack? Norman? Explicitly labeled to not be a big head of anything and works under aforementioned characters. I don’t mean to say that they had lower positions and shouldn’t be credited, but there are thousands of employees that were under those positions as well. If they wanted to credit Jack, head lyricist, what’s giving that they shouldn’t credit the chief sound engineer? How about a film editor or some random archivist? Just.. a really random choice of characters honestly, makes me wonder why them.

(The second question was the reason why I added an extra special role to those employees in my headcanon/AU, but what are your thoughts?)
