ESL Podcast 1160 – Being Reprimanded at Work 


Tania: What time is your meeting with Ted 1


James: It’s at 3:00. Why? 


Tania: You don’t seem worried. If I were being accused of misconduct and up for disciplinary action, I’d be on edge. 


James: It was a minor 2 offense 3. I’m sure I’ll just get a slap on the wrist. 


Tania: I heard about it and it didn’t sound that minor. 


James: People blow things out of proportion. It’s not like I’ll be up for dismissal or anything. 


Tania: I hope not, but you might get a written reprimand placed in your personnel file. That could affect your chances for a raise or promotion 4


James: I don’t have much of a chance of getting either one, quite frankly 5, so why sweat it? I’ll deal with whatever punishment I get. 


Tania: I’m glad that’s your attitude. 


James: What I say is: Don’t do the crime, if you can’t do the time!
