Hi Isabel! You wanted to see me?
Yes Anthony, come on in. Have a seat.
Is everything okay? You seem a bit preoccupied.
Well, Anthony, this is not going to be an easy conversation. The company has made some decisions which will have a direct impact on your employment.
Okay. . .
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.
What? Why? I mean. . . just like that? I'm fired?
I'm sorry but, to be honest, you are a terrible employee!
What! I resent that!
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!
