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!
