[speaker001:] are you ready for the meeting?
[speaker002:] yes, come on in. how's your new job going?
[speaker001:] it's challenging, but I'm enjoying it quite a bit.
[speaker002:] that's great. I knew you'd do a good job as a manager.
[speaker001:] thanks a lot.
[speaker002:] how's your assistant manager getting on?
[speaker001:] well, that's part of the problem. His probation period is up tomorrow and I don't think he's ready to pass.
[speaker002:] what seems to be the problem?
[speaker001:] well, he was supposed to be able to learn his job in 30 days, but he just doesn't seem to know what he's doing.
[speaker002:] if you gave him another 30 days, do you think he could figure it out by then?
[speaker001:] to be honest, he has no authority. He's a hard-worker, but no one listens to him.
[speaker002:] I see. Not everyone is cut out to work in management.
[speaker001:] I know. It'd be great if we could transfer him to a department where he doesn't have to work with people.
[speaker002:] there's an opening in the creative design department. It involves working with computers.
[speaker001:] that's perfect. I'll let him know tomorrow. Thanks!
