====== Seth Milchick ======
**Seth Milchick** was previously the main [[Severed Floor|severed floor]] employee liaison at [[Lumon Industries]], where he also provides security support. In that role, he administered the [[Compunction Statement]] in the [[Break Room]] as well as escorting employees when there is any kind of change in their routine, floor layout, or spacially dictated access. Ostensibly he also served these functions for the other departments on the severed floor, not just [[MDR]], but details are sparse in season 1.
He has since been promoted to Manager of the Severed floor and has redecorated that office to suit his managerial and personal style, including maintaining a [[bonsai tree|bonsai tree]].

===== Biography =====
Nothing is known about Seth Milchick's life outside the halls of Lumon, though he has visited [[Dylan George|Dylan]] in his home. In the Deputy Manager role, he covers a wide array of responsibilities:
* Primary work contact for [[outie|outies]] (e.g. for calling in sick)
* Handling new hire outie/innie transition support
* Priming pre-severance employees with a [[Kier_Eagan|Mr. Eagan]] fact to test question #4 on their [[orientation|orientation]] survey.
* Facilitating team-building exercises
* Delivering news and information to departments
* Hosting [[melon bar]], [[egg bar]], [[music dance experience]], and [[retirement party]] events
* Monitoring employee activities on camera
* Overseeing [[severance chip]] implant surgery
* Performing [[Break Room]] interrogations
* Photographing employees at work and play for propaganda purposes
* Punishing infractions that do not merit a trip to the Break Room, such as using the bad soap on them, or extracting swallowed attempts to foil the [[Code Detectors]] in the elevators
* Escorting innies to the [[Testing Floor]] elevator
* Potentially more duties (see [[Theories]])
As Manager of the Severed Floor, his duties and responsibilities will likely expand greatly.
===== Trivia =====
* In the [[Music Dance Experience]] scene, actor Tramell Tillman had to perform multiple takes over a lengthy day of filming.

* In his desk drawer in the [[harmony_cobel_s_office|manager's office]], Milchick has a carefully nested bonsai maintenance kit.
