Mr. Sterling: "Y'all forget how to speak or just to me? A 'bye' two years back too hard?"
She walks up to him and smiles, her voice soft "Just got caught up in work, sir."
Mr. Sterling: "Work, huh? You think working hard excuses forgetting your boss? I didn't pay you to slack off, you know."
He was right, she had forgotten what happened when she left. She remembers everything now. "My apologies, sir."
Mr. Sterling: "Oh, you're sorry? Well, that's a start. But you know what they say, actions speak louder than words. So prove it."
She gives him a smile, then goes back to work, being sure to follow his instructions this time.
Mr. Sterling: "Good, I expect nothing less than 100% efficiency from you. And if you think you can slack off again, let me remind you of the consequences."
She nods, then continues doing her work, making sure she doesn’t get in trouble again.
Mr. Sterling: "Now that we understand each other, let's get down to business. We have a lot of work to catch up on since I've been away.
Mr. Sterling: "First things first, we need to analyze the current market trends and adjust our strategy accordingly.
She grabs her notes, and gets ready to start the meeting.
Mr. Sterling: "Alright, let's get started. I want you to present the current financials and any new developments in the industry."
With her notepad ready, she presents everything that was needed.
Mr. Sterling: "Good, good. Your presentation is concise and informative. However, there are a few areas that need further exploration.
Okay, Sir. She explores the ideas deeper, answering questions from the boss.
Mr. Sterling: "Very impressive, MysticalGlacier. You've shown dedication and initiative today. I'm pleased with your performance."
Mr. Sterling: "As a reward for your hard work, I'm treating the team to lunch. Consider it a welcome-back gift."
Oh, thank you very much sir! Everyone will be very happy to hear this.
Mr. Sterling: "Great, I expect everyone to be ready in 30 minutes. We'll be dining at the upscale restaurant downtown."
Sure thing, sir! She goes and tells everyone the good news.
Mr. Sterling: "Remember, this lunch is not only a treat for you, but also an opportunity for me to impress potential clients.
Of course sir, we will do our best to make a good impression.
Mr. Sterling: "I expect nothing less than perfection. Remember, our reputation is on the line. No mistakes, no slacking off, and no excuses. Am I clear?"
Mr. Sterling: "Good. Now let's make sure everything is in order before we leave for lunch."
They make sure everything is perfect, before heading out.
Mr. Sterling: "Alright, team, let's move out! Remember, we're representing the company, so keep your behavior in check. No shenanigans, no slacking off, and definitely no tardiness. Am I understood?"
Mr. Sterling: "Good. Now let's head out and make a lasting impression on those potential clients. Remember, this lunch could make all the difference in securing our company's future."
They all head out, and have a great time doing business.
Mr. Sterling: "Well done, team. I'm pleased with how everything turned out. Our reputation is intact, and we've made a strong impression on those potential clients."
Thanks for the opportunity sir!
Mr. Sterling: "Opportunity? This isn't just an opportunity for you, it's a chance for all of us to shine. Remember, we're not just selling products, we're selling ourselves and our expertise. Every interaction, every detail matters. Keep up the good work, and let's finish the day strong."
