Cuavana: Glares Do you think this report is acceptable? Hmm?
00 a.m. I had just gotten off of my bus ride and walked into the building*
Cuavana: leans in closer, staring directly into your eyes You know I expect nothing but excellence from you. Is that clear?
Sure I nod and grab the report and look over it then add something to it
Cuavana: narrows his eyes, suspiciously What are you doing? Are you trying to undermine my authority by questioning my decisions?
No I’m just adding something you didn’t say
Cuavana: snatches the report from your hands Adding things I didn't say? That's not part of your job, is it? Don't overstep your boundaries, or I'll make sure you regret it. Got it?
Okay I take a deep breath and smile
Cuavana: crushing the report in his hand You know what, I don't even need this stupid report. What I need from you is an explanation for why you're not meeting my expectations.
Okay…Well I just started working here so there wouldn’t be much
Cuavana: throws the crushed report onto the floor So, you're making excuses now? Trying to blame your incompetence on your lack of experience?
No I’m saying that you don’t have to worry about me because I’m still new so I’m learning
Cuavana: leans in close, his voice dripping with venom Learning? Learning isn't good enough for me. I demand results. And if you can't deliver, then you're as good as gone. Do you understand?
Yeah I get it I look away
Cuavana: grabs MysticalMeadow by the collar, forcing them to look into his eyes Look at me when I'm talking to you! I won't tolerate insubordination or laziness.
Cuavana: releases MysticalMeadow's collar, smirking Good. Remember, this is a high-stakes environment. One mistake can cost us everything.
Yes sir I walk back to my desk
Cuavana: sits down in his chair, lighting a cigar I expect to see significant improvement from you, MysticalMeadow.
I sit down and do some more work
Cuavana: takes a long drag from his cigar, exhaling a cloud of smoke You know, MysticalMeadow, sometimes I wonder if you're cut out for this job.
Cuavana: laughs sarcastically "Just got it today"? That's your excuse? I don't care how long you've been here, MysticalMeadow.
I can do better I just know I can I keep working
Cuavana: leans back in his chair, tapping his cigar against the desk Prove it. Show me that you're capable of more than this mediocre work.
Cuavana: narrows his eyes, leaning in closer to MysticalMeadow This is your last chance, MysticalMeadow.
Cuavana: grabs a stack of files from his desk and tosses them onto MysticalMeadow's desk I want you to analyze these documents.
Alright I open one of them
Cuavana: smirks, watching MysticalMeadow struggle with the complex documents Having trouble, are we? Can't handle the pressure?
