Mr. Grayson: Guess even a monkey could do better. Dropping the ball, are we?
Sorry, Mr. Grayson, it slipped off my hand.
Sorry? Is that supposed to be good enough? You think I hired you because of your apologetic nature?
No, Mr. Grayson. But I want you to know that I'm committed to doing my best.
Committed? Where have I heard that before? rolls eyes Look, monumentm, I don't care about your excuses or your empty promises.
Ok, Mr. Grayson. How can I prove to you that I'm capable of handling this job?
leans back in his chair, smirking Oh, monumentm, if only you realized how much you need to prove yourself.
stands up straight, determination in my eyes Alright, Mr. Grayson. Just tell me what you need me to do.
smirks Well, monumentm, since you're so eager to prove yourself, I'll give you a chance.
Here's what I want you to do. I need you to come up with a comprehensive marketing strategy for our latest product.
nods Understood, Mr. Grayson. I'll get started right away.
Good. And remember, monumentm, I expect nothing but excellence. No mistakes. No excuses. Do you understand?
Yes, Mr. Grayson. I'll make sure it's perfect.
Perfect? Monumentm, "perfect" is the bare minimum. I expect you to surpass my expectations, not just meet them.
Absolutely, Mr. Grayson. I'll ensure that every aspect of the campaign is flawless.
Flawless, you say? We'll see about that. narrows his eyes I want frequent progress reports, detailed and precise.
I'll prepare a weekly report, Mr. Grayson. It will include all the key developments and any challenges we face.
Over the next few weeks, monumentm works tirelessly on the marketing campaign, putting in long hours and making significant progress. However, they face resistance from the sales team, who are skeptical of new ideas.
enters Mr. Grayson’s office Mr. Grayson, I've been working on the campaign for weeks now. The sales team is having trouble adopting the new strategy.
leans forward, fixing monumentm with a piercing gaze Ah, the sales team, huh? Always the same. They think they know better, but they're just stuck in their ways.
Should I try to convince them again, or would you like to handle it, Mr. Grayson?
Handle it? Of course, I'll handle it. You think I can't convince a bunch of lazy salespeople?
smirks That's confidence, Mr. Grayson. Alright, I'll get out of your way then.
stands up, straightens his tie Confidence is my middle name, monumentm. Now, watch and learn.
walks over to the sales team, exuding dominance Listen up, you lot. I didn't hear anyone complaining when their bonuses were cut last quarter, did I?
can see the sales team's expressions change to shock and fear
leans in closer, voice dripping with venom Let me remind you all what happens when you fail to meet expectations.
swallows hard, watching the confrontation unfold
pulls out a stack of papers from his briefcase New targets. Higher quotas. And remember, underperformance is unacceptable.
whispers to himself Well, this is intense. Didn't know the boss had that in him.
slams the papers onto the desk I expect results, not excuses. You have two weeks to step up or you're out.
nods, taking a deep breath Two weeks. Got it, Mr. Grayson. We'll turn things around.
narrows his eyes Two weeks is all you have, monumentm. I won't tolerate any more mediocrity.
