3 words...I love this!!!!
Ok a few more. I love stories that show just how tiny someone is against a fingertip . The feeling of helplessness and minuteness is so well captured with hand play.
Can't wait for more. 😊

Agreed, I'm glad you liked it.
Thank you!

@tinyguy: The ankle-high workers would be 2 feet tall (Sylvie's height) if their bosses are 25 feet tall or 1 foot tall (half Sylvie's height) if their bosses are 12 feet tall.
Also, if this started 15 years ago, then all but the youngest generation would remember life before this, when everyone had roughly equal size.
Author's Response:
Your comment on it starting 15 years made me realise what an oversight that was, so I've changed it to 35 years now. It just makes more sense that the size bracket is further integrated into society at this point.
So thanks for that :)

@Fosmat looking forward to it!
Particularly interested to see how tall Eileen is, and how big that makes her in comparison to Sylvie. You mentioned that some of the staff are ankle-height compared to their superiors. If that’s the case for Sylvie, either Eileen and the other department heads are massive giants, or Sylvie has a long way to fall… both scenarios sound very intriguing.

It's great to return to the Money Matters world.
Mrs. Cohehall: Teachers at this school must be well paid if she's eight feet tall - they're not nearly that well paid in some parts of the real world. If this is a school for low to middle height students, then she'd be taller than all of them, but at schools for the richest students, you'd have the issue of either the teachers are a lot shorter than the students, or the teachers are multi-millionaires.
Job in coding or writing: In this world, remote working would be a great option for social mobility.
A job for middle height people, no other requirements: Why would this job care about height and nothing else?
Leona Stannard: How tall is she? But don't tell me know, show me later.
The three employees who were fired: A drip drip drip of hints would be interesting.
Stannard's mission: This makes it abundantly clear that everything about this world is about solving a problem in a way that elevates the rich and diminishes the poor.

Hey Ancient Relic! Nice to hear from you again.
So, this is actually a bit of a reworked version of the world from Money Matters, it's more dystopian and the brackets have been slightly altered. I try not to world lore dump too much in a story, esp a 1st person one, so you'll see more of the differences as it goes on. But, as to your point, there is more control in places like public schools, teachers are allowed to be at this height for the reason you mentioned, otherwise they would lose control over the kids.
Why hire smaller people? They're cheap!
Leona will remain a mystery don't worry. And as for those three employees, I wonder what happened?
Thanks for the review, I hope you enjoy where it goes.

Excellent start!
As others have said, you’ve done some great world building here, and some of the scenarios you mentioned in this first chapter would be great to see as standalone works on their own. As a gentle fan, would be cool to see something featuring. Eileen Bellinghart from HR… although, given how you describe her, you could probably work some cruel stuff in there as well to satisfy those fans too.
Author's Response:
Cheers!
I expect Sylvie to reminisce on her escapades throughout the story so those scenarios will come back at some point. The interaction with Eileen is coming right up, should be a fun scene. :)

Awesome! I am a big fan of the world of Money Matters, so I'm glad we have a continuation of sorts. Looking forwards to future updates.
Author's Response:
Thank you!
Yeah I've always enjoyed the world-building I did for that story so it's fun to be writing it again.

Great first chapter I loved the character set up and thought I would love to see side stories of Mrs Colehall as that seemed like an interesting story setup in its own right.
Author's Response:
Glad you enjoyed it.
There will probably be more flashbacks to Mrs Colehall in the story, so don't worry!
