(I suppose it was inevitable that I write a story based in the naked Mailgirl Universe. I've adopted many of the standard concepts, and added a few hopefully original ones.
Enjoy.)
Part 1: We're Really Doing This...
"Yes, we're really doing this... as you can see."
Daniel--our CFO--and I, were standing just outside what had been our in-house counsel's office--until the pandemic. "It's all Zoom now," Daniel had told me. "These lawyers--now, they don't even need to leave home. But they still bill you just like old times."
The office had glass walls, and another wall of glass was being installed about ten feet in.
"We're lucky that there was a shower in here already. All the workers did was extend that shower structure out. They also added four shower heads, which should be sufficient for up to eight girls to share."
I simply stood there, looking around. I still could not fathom as fact that select female employees would soon be literally running around the office, totally nude.
Since I was silent, Daniel continued. "Let me walk you through it." We walked into the office. "The girls will undress right here, and hang up all of their clothes on these hooks--shoes underneath. We will supply standard hangers, and specialty hangers for their bras and panties."
We walked behind the second glass wall. The workmen acknowledged us with nods, then returned to work.
"They will all be required to shower here, in back of these two glass walls, so they will remain totally visible; totally nude from now on."
He walked me out to the central office, which already had two long, leather-look benches installed.
"Once they're done with showering, the girls will come out here to 'primp and preen.' They will each be responsible for supplying their own makeup, hair and grooming supplies. There's separate containers under the benches for all of their stuff."
"When you say 'grooming'..."
"Oh yes. All the girls will have to keep their legs and their underarms completely shaved. We are allowing some pubic hair--but that fur will have to be kept exceptionally well-trimmed, neat and tidy.
The girls will all be required to face front, and have their legs spread as much as possible. The only thing they'll be allowed to 'wear' from then on will be their company cell, velcroed to their upper left arm."
"And... what happens when it's a certain time of month?"
I wondered if Daniel was completely exasperated with me yet. But hey: I was only the lowly Hiring Manager, assistant to the H.R. Director. I was not the head of the MPC: the Mailgirl Preparation Committee.
"They have a choice of two days off, without pay, or they can come in and wear some specially designed, leakproof little red panties."
We walked back out into the hallway. The CEO's office was right next door, and there were three offices across from the main mailgirl station that would have fantastic views.
"So... we're really gonna make them kneel with legs spread?"
"Why not? It's all part of the whole mailgirl mystique. Think about if we had naked mailboys. They wouldn't be able to hide their junk, so why let the girls get away with it?"
That argument was so strange, it hurt my head to think about it. I opened my mouth and--
Daniel's company cell dinged. "I hafta take this." He sounded relieved. "Look. The CEO has had it with so many employees working remote from home. He thinks they're dicking off, and frankly, so do I, so... get them back in the office!
Marg has a copy of our recommendations on hiring and on nude interviewing. If you have any other questions..."
I got the unspoken message of 'bother Marg--not me!'
I took the stairs down the two floors to "our" floor. It was actually shared by both Finance/Accounting and Human Resources.
I was picturing barefoot, naked ladies running up and down these same stairs, in just a few weeks time.
Actually, we didn't want our girls running and risking injuries. The app on their phones would track the girls' number of steps, time between receiving/delivering messages, as well as their speed. They would get a warning if they were moving at an unsafe speed.
I knocked on Marg's open door.
"How did it go?" Then she saw the look in my eyes. "Don't worry about him anymore. I have all of their recommendations, now, all we need to do is write up the ad, and set up the interviews."
I sat down. "Are we only advertising internally? I'm not seeing how we would get five women from here, willing to go nude."
"Ah, but you're forgetting we have two other satellite offices. They are pretty far away, but if they're willing to travel here for their interviews, and willing to relocate..."
I hadn't thought about that. That's why she was the H.R. Director. I was already equally excited and embarrassed at the prospect of interviewing female employees that I knew, without their clothes. Maybe if we did get some applicants from other parts of the country, it would make the whole awkward thing easier for both parties.
"So, here I go," Marg sighed. "I'm about to write up and send out an internal memo asking our female employees if they would be willing to work nude. They would technically become little more than naked gofers, the lowliest of clerks..."
"But," I concluded, "they will be earning six figures." I shook my head. "Is it all worth it? Are we really going to get employees back to the office--by luring them back with naked girls?!"
"Our focus groups say 'yes.' We'll lose some women--those who are offended--but that loss will be more than made up by the return of many appreciative males."
Marg slightly changed the subject. "Speaking of naked girls, think about how we're going to conduct our interviews; come up with a reasonable, professional action plan. Yes Rob, it will be you and me: watching women undress for us and then interviewing them completely nude--with their legs spread."
She put her hand on mine, as I went silent.
"No double entendre intended, I just hope you're up for it."

Part 2: Uh, yes. Please undress completely, and put your clothes on that chair.
Our first interviewee was Heather, age 25, a personal assistant to one of our mid-level executives. I had seen her around the office, and I thought she was extremely cute, but I didn't know her personally.
(Legal had decided that we were allowed to ask for a woman's age to "determine whether her perceived level of fitness when nude is age-appropriate." It was also to make sure that we selected females of different ages; if all of our mailgirls were, for instance, all cute college coeds aged eighteen to twenty-one, we were in trouble.)
Heather showed up--in Marg's office, after work--in a powder blue miniskirt and a tight, white, buttoned top. She was a bleached blonde with blue eyes, a pretty face, and an exceptionally curvy figure. And she had great legs.
"I hafta strip all the way--right?"
"Uh, yes," I said. "Please undress completely, and put your clothes on that chair."
I noticed right away that, before Heather took any article of clothing off, she would look to me. All I could do was nod. Was she looking for permission or approval? When she got down to her matching lavender bra and panty set, she stared right at me as she slowly reached behind her.
