Hey, guys,

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 unreliable.
Sometimes he’s really productive, but then other times...
take last Tuesday for instance, he was forty-five minutes
late for our morning meeting!
B: Well, I’m sure he had a perfectly good reason...
A: But that’s not the only thing... you know, he really
doesn’t have the best work ethic, I’m constantly 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.
