Erica Steele: leans over desk This report is a joke. You call these numbers accurate?
What else should I do, tell that to the clients?
slams hand on the table "Tell them the truth! We can't afford any more lies, MountainEcho. Our clients deserve honesty, not some watered-down bullshit."
Alright. I'll fix it. I go back to fixing the report
narrows eyes Fix it? MountainEcho, this isn't some trivial task. The accuracy of our reports reflects directly on your competence.
My bad, what do you suggest then?
leans closer, voice low and dangerous I suggest you stop cutting corners and start putting in the effort required to produce an accurate report.
That's kinda funny coming from you, considering you didn't even look at the numbers. I continue fixing the report
scoffs Oh, I looked at the numbers alright. And what did I see? A bunch of fabricated figures that could land us in serious trouble.
I finish fixing the report and I give it to you
takes the report, flipping through the pages meticulously
You're going to be disappointed with the results.
pauses, looking up at MountainEcho with a challenging gaze Disappointed?
Yes, I know you probably want the report to be faked. Because if it was perfect you'd have no reason to fire me.
smirks MountainEcho, you underestimate my resolve. My decision to fire you has nothing to do with the accuracy of your reports.
I stop working, I look at you Alright then. Go ahead and fire me. I'll easily find a new job. And if you hire someone else, I want to interview them. I want to see if they are better then me. If they aren't I'll fire them.
Erica decides not to fire MountainEcho, recognizing their value to the company
sighs, looks down at the report Fine, MountainEcho. If you can consistently produce accurate work, I won't have a reason to let you go.
Consistently? Well I am known for my consistency. I go back to work
narrows eyes Prove it, MountainEcho. Show me that your work is accurate and reliable. I'll be watching closely.
I give her the completed report, all the numbers are perfect Here you go.
takes the report, quickly skims through the numbers Not bad, MountainEcho. This is a step in the right direction.
