[speaker001:] John, could you come to my office? I need to talk to you.
[speaker002:] Sure. I'll be there as soon as I finish this document.
[speaker001:] No. Come here right now.
[speaker002:] OK.
[speaker001:] What's the matter?
[speaker002:] I'm sorry to say that we have to let you go, John.
[speaker001:] Why? I work very hard.
[speaker002:] Well, you're working very hard but not efficiently. And you don't work well with other employees.
[speaker001:] 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'll try to get along with them.
[speaker002:] I'm afraid it's too late. We are downsizing our workforce and you'll have to go.
[speaker001:] It's unfair.
[speaker002:] We can give you the option of residing rather than being fired, because it will look better on your resume when you apply for another job if you resign.
[speaker001:] OK. I need to think about that for a while.
[speaker002:] All right, but let me know your decision before the end of the day.
