Man: What’s the matter, Louisa? You don’t seem to be in a good mood.
Woman: You’re right. I’m in a bad mood.
Man: Is your car acting up again?
Woman: No, it’s the new boss. He thinks he owns the place.
Man: How long have you had him?
Woman: Three weeks and two people have already resigned.
Man: That was quick. What’s going on?
Woman: He’s trying to change a system that has been working perfectly for years. Streamlining, he calls it.
Man: Are you sure those guys resigned? Streamlining usually means redundancies.
Woman: I’m certain. They would have been demoted. Mike was our best accountant. He can get a job anytime.
Man: How about you?
Woman: I don’t know yet. But I have a meeting with him at 3. I don’t know what to expect, honestly.
Man: Shame. I hope your meeting goes well. He can’t afford to lose more people.
Woman: He’s really pushy. I’m not sure I want to work with him anyway.
Man: I see what you mean. If you decide to stay you’ll have to stand up for yourself.
Woman: I’ll try but I’m not sure it’s worth it.
