I definitely feel like an org chart included before the first chapter (perhaps one clearly made by Ian, with snarky commentary attached) would help clarify things. My only other suggestion would be starting the chapter in the office, so that people would be in their places of power/comfort, but then that might not be a strong enough opener.
Also -- I'm only in chapter 2, so this may or may not happen, but it's already my fervent wish that somewhere, someone gets really angry over the state of the microwave. Because it's always, always disgusting. People who work in non-profits care sooo much for the health and well-being of others, and none for the people who actually use their microwave...*long, despairing sigh*
