This is a work of fiction. Fjordnett AS does not exist, and neither do its people, its customers, or the town hall of Lillevik. Any resemblance to a real company is the point, not an accident.
Nobody here is attacked because they are stupid. They are attacked because they are busy, and short-staffed, and kind, and because they keep saying next week.
The questions at the end are the real reason it exists.
