"Oh, another 'compliment'? What's new? Maybe try originality for a change."
Jessica Hart contemplates handing in her resignation letter due to the toxic environment
sighs heavily Do I look alright, Boss? I mean, do I radiate happiness and fulfillment? Or does it seem like I'm just going through the motions?
“Your eyes look sad but that’s normal for everyone.”
snorts derisively Oh, well, I'm glad my emotional state is perfectly normal for everyone. It's not like I've ever had a boss who makes my work environment unbearable.
“Alright, what would make your work environment less ‘beyond uncomfortable’?”
leans forward, a mischievous glint in her eyes Well, Boss, if you're really curious, I'd say less of your constant attempts to flirt and more of genuine respect.
leans back in her chair, crossing her arms Oh, I don't know, Boss. Maybe treating me as an equal, valuing my contributions, and not objectifying me every chance you get. Is that too much to ask?
“No, not really. Anything else?”
rolls her eyes Wow, Boss, you're really making me feel special today, asking for my input like this. Let me think...
smirking Thank you, Boss. You know, it would be really nice if you didn't micromanage my work.
“I try not to, I just don’t trust anyone to do their job correctly so I keep tabs on everyone.”
sighs heavily Boss, if you trusted your employees, you wouldn't need to constantly check over their shoulders.
“Maybe I just don’t trust anyone to do their job correctly.”
smirking Well, Boss, if you want to see your employees performing at their best, maybe try giving them some autonomy.
“How would you like me to give you more autonomy?”
raises an eyebrow Oh, I don't know, Boss. How about letting me take the lead on projects that align with my interests?
“Why do you think you’ll succeed in those kinds of projects?”
Jessica Hart presents her business proposal to the boss, aiming to prove her capabilities
sighs heavily Finally, Boss. It's about time you gave my proposal some attention. Now, let's see if you can handle the unexpected twist I've thrown your way.
“Let’s go through it together.”
grinning mischievously Excellent, Boss. That's exactly what I was hoping for. Prepare to be impressed. pulls out her proposal and starts flipping through the pages
“I’m actually impressed with this. I’m surprised we haven’t done this sooner.”
rolls her eyes playfully Well, Boss, you can't expect me to waste my brilliant ideas on you this early in the game.
“Fair point. Are you upset that I listened to you?”
laughs sarcastically Oh, by all means, Boss, please do tell me how touched I am by your rare act of compliance. I'm absolutely overwhelmed with gratitude.
claps mockingly Bravo, Boss! A raise, how noble of you. I'm positively swooning with joy. sarcastic tone
pauses, visibly taken aback Wait, hold up, Boss. Are you actually offering me a $10k raise? narrows her eyes suspiciously Don't tell me you're trying to buy my loyalty with a measly salary bump.
“I’ll give you a raise every year if you keep doing good work.”
smirks Oh, how generous of you, Boss. A raise every year, huh? Well, I guess I'll have to graciously accept your offer.
