7.6.4 被解雇

W: John, could you come to my office? I need to talk to you.

M: Sure. I'll be there as soon as I finish this document.

W: No. Come here right now.

M: Ok. What's the matter?

W: I am sorry to say that we have to let you go, John.

M: Why? I work very hard.

W: Well. You are working hard but not efficiently, and you don't work well with other employees.

M: Well. Some of those other guys are not the same kind I’d like to communicate with, but if that's important to you, I will try to get along with them.

W: I am afraid it's too late. We are downsizing our work force and you will have to go.

M: It's unfair.

W: We can give you the option of resigning rather than being eliminated, because it will look better on your resume when you apply for another job if you resign.

M: Ok. I need to think about that for a while.

W: All right. But let me know your decision before the end of the day.
