A: So, Lauren, I just wanted to talk to you quickly
about our new customer support representative,
Jason Huntley.
B: Sure, what’s up?
A: Basically, I’ve got a few concerns about him, and
the bottom line is, I don’t think he’s a good fit for
our company.
B: Okay... what makes you say that? I thought you
were pleased with his overall performance. Didn’t
you just tell me last week how impressed you
were with his attitude?
A: Yeah, his attitude is great, but he’s really unreli-
able. Sometimes he’s really productive, but then
other times... take last Tuesday for instance, he
was forty-five minutes late for our morning meet-
ing!
B: Well, I’m sure he had a perfectly good reason...
A: But that’s not the only thing... you know, he re-
ally doesn’t have the best work ethic, I’m con-
stantly catching him on MSN and Facebook when
he should be talking to clients.
B: Yeah, but come on, Geoff, as if you don’t check
Facebook at work. Look, you hired this guy, we’ve
invested a lot of time and money in his training,
so now it’s up to you to coach him. Make it work,
Geoff!
A: Make it work, Geoff. You would say that, wouldn’t
you, he is your cousin; what a jerk, make me hire
your stupid, useless, cousin.
