B: Yes Anthony, come on in. Have a seat.
A: Is everything okay? You seem a bit preoccupied 1.

versation. The company has made some deci-
sions which will have a direct impact on your em-
ployment.
A: Okay...
B: I don’t want to beat around the bush so I’m just
gonna come out with it. We are going to have to
let you go.
A: What? Why? I mean... just like that? I’m fired?
B: I’m sorry but, to be honest, you are a terrible em-
ployee!
A: What! I resent that!
B: Anthony, you were caught making international
calls from the office phone, you called in sick in
eight times this month and you smell like alcohol!
