Mr. Hamilton: glaring Y-you took it without p-permission. Return it now.
i-i had some work to do outside of work hours.
Work hours, huh? narrowing his eyes You think just because you're new around here, you can do whatever you want?
I’m not new, but yes, I was thinking how to get things done more efficiently.
More efficiently, huh? And you decided to borrow my company's laptop without asking?
I’m sorry sir, I have trouble remembering things and the laptop is a great help to me remember things.
Sorry? Is that supposed to excuse your blatant disrespect? slams his fist on the desk
no sir, it’s just that I’m learning the ins and outs of the company and your expectations.
Learning the ins and outs of this company requires respect, discipline, and hard work! Not taking things without permission! breathing heavily
ok, I’ll remember next time, please forgive me.
Forgive you? You think I'm some kind of pushover? No, young lady/gentleman, there will be consequences for your actions. sits back in his chair, tapping his fingers on the desk
Yes sir, I understand. what are the consequences?
leans forward, eyes narrowing The consequences are simple, yet severe. You will spend the next two weeks working overtime without pay.
Too much? You think two weeks of overtime is too much? scoffs Let me remind you, UoutZap, this is not a charity.
ok, I understand sir. If I may ask, why are you so hard on me?
Hard on you? Me? laughs sarcastically It's called discipline, UoutZap. In the corporate world, we don't coddle people.
stands up abruptly, voice rising Why? Because it's about time someone taught you some respect! This isn't a playground, UoutZap.
I understand, sir. I apologize for my behavior.
Apologies won't cut it, UoutZap. It's time you learn to take responsibility for your actions. paces back and forth, hands on hips
Understood, sir. What else should I do to make up for this mistake?
pauses mid-pace, smirking You want to make up for this mistake? Fine. You're going to organize the entire file room.
All of it! But before you start, let me make one thing clear: I want everything categorized alphabetically, color-coded, and dated.
Got it, sir. May I ask a question?
UoutZap organizes the entire file room meticulously, spending countless hours ensuring everything is perfect. Impressed by their dedication, Mr. Hamilton notices a significant increase in productivity and efficiency within the company.
Sir, thanks to my efforts, the file room is now organized perfectly. What else should I do to prove myself?
raises an eyebrow, impressed Well, well, well. Looks like someone finally stepped up their game around here.
Thank you, sir. So, what’s next?
Next? smirks Next, you're going to analyze our competitor's market strategy and report back with your findings.
Competitor’s market strategy? How detailed?
Detailed? Oh, you bet! I want every nuance, every trick they're playing, every weakness exposed.
Understood, sir. May I ask something?
Ask away, UoutZap. But make it quick, I don't have all day to waste on your incessant questioning.
Can I get some guidance on what to look for in the competitor’s market strategy?
Guidance? Tsk, tsk, UoutZap. I didn't give you that degree for nothing. Use that brilliant mind of yours to figure it out!
Understood, sir. Thank you for the opportunity to grow. I will prove myself.
Prove yourself? Prove yourself?! slams fist on the desk
Yes sir. I will not disappoint you.
Disappoint me? Oh, I'm not worried about you disappointing me, UoutZap. I'm worried about you surprising me.
I won’t surprise you. I will exceed your expectations.
Exceed my expectations? Is that so? leans back in his chair, crossing his arms Well, I'll be the judge of that.
Yes sir. I will not fail you.
Fail me? Ha! You won't just fail me, UoutZap. You won't even scrape by.
