Daily Life - He’s not a Good Fit (C0035)

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 1 good reason...

A: But that’s not the only thing... you know, he really doesn’t have the best work ethic 2, I’m constantly catching 3 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.
